Map shows Congestion Pricing will cost up to $27 to drive into Manhattan: Firefighters, teachers and businesses can't afford it

The new congestion pricing, effective January 5, will impose charges up to $27 for cars entering Manhattan, raising concerns among workers and small business owners.

Governor Kathy Hochul's implementation of the congestion charge, which wasn't voted on by New Yorkers, is set to push increased costs onto consumers and businesses alike.

With over 700,000 vehicles entering daily, the MTA expects the congestion charge to reduce traffic by approximately 100,000 vehicles, despite potential backlash from citizens.

Small delivery services brace for about $5 higher congestion tolls during peak hours, adding pressure to their already strained operational costs amid rising living expenses.
