Governor Kathy Hochul plans to retry congestion pricing with a reduced toll of $9 for cars entering Lower Manhattan, down from a previously proposed $15.
The $9 toll is considered a practical compromise to avoid extensive environmental reviews that a lower $7 charge would necessitate, according to knowledgeable sources.
Advocates are urging Hochul to implement this pricing strategy quickly, especially in anticipation of Donald Trump’s inauguration, who has vowed to terminate the program.
The governor's office is potentially considering increasing the base toll within the next three years, indicating a dynamic approach to congestion management.
