NYC Approves $9 Congestion Toll for Lower Manhattan
TL;DR
The MTA board has approved a $9 congestion pricing fee for non-commercial vehicles entering Manhattan's central business district south of 60th Street, set to begin on January 5. This decision follows the lifting of a hold by Governor Kathy Hochul, who proposed the reduced fee from an initial $15. The plan aims to reduce traffic congestion, although board member David S. Mack opposed it, suggesting alternative revenue sources.
