The controversial law officially goes into effect on January 5th, 2025 for drivers working their way through the Central Business District (CBD), 60th Street in Manhattan and below.
Initially, the price was slated for $15, which NYers can eventually expect in 2031. After the plan was revived in November 2024, New York Governor Kathy Hochul managed to lower the cost to $9 for the program's inception.
I believe that no New Yorker should have to pay a penny more than absolutely necessary to achieve these goals, and $15 was too much... I am proud to announce we have found a path to fund the MTA, reduce congestion and keep millions of dollars in the pockets of our commuters.
Additionally, January 5th also marks the day the bridges and tunnel tolls between NYC and New Jersey increase, affecting the Lincoln and Holland Tunnels, the George Washington, Bayonne, and Goethals Bridges, and the Outerbridge Crossing.
