Manhattan Congestion Pricing: MTA Board Approves Proposal

“The plan laid out by the MTA’s Traffic Mobility Review Board would charge cars $15 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street. There would be a 75% discount overnight and a $5 rebate for cars entering from the nearby tunnels. The new tolls could be up to $36 for trucks and $7.50 for motorcycles. Taxis and for-hire vehicles have a fee per ride of $1.25 and $2.50, which would be passed on to the customer,” WPIX-11 reported. The only ‘no’ vote on the MTA Board came from Nassau County’s David Mack, who worried the proposal would be ‘an added burden’ to residents. Learn more here.
