New York is set to revive its congestion pricing program, reducing the toll from $15 to $9 for entering Midtown and Lower Manhattan during peak hours.
The new congestion pricing plan aims for quick implementation, requiring only MTA board approval and is expected to take effect before Donald Trump's inauguration.
Governor Hochul's decision to modify the toll comes in response to pressure from transit advocates and internal legal challenges, displaying the complexity of executing urban congestion schemes.
The state's previous environmental review process will allow them to sidestep re-evaluations, facilitating a faster pace towards implementing this critical funding initiative for transit systems.
