The Federal Highway Administration approved the congestion pricing program, allowing a $9 toll for cars entering Manhattan below 60th Street starting Jan. 5, 2024, after a lengthy pause.
The plan will initially lower the base toll from $15 to $9, then increase it to $12 in 2028, reaching $15 by 2031, despite facing legal challenges.
Despite the federal sign-off, the program's future is uncertain due to lawsuits and opposition from local legislators, alongside potential actions from President-elect Trump.
Gov. Kathy Hochul and MTA officials revived the congestion pricing initiative after a delay, highlighting the program's significance amidst ongoing discussions about urban traffic management.
