New York City Receives Federal Approval for Congestion Pricing Plan

New York City will implement a congestion pricing plan to reduce traffic and improve air quality.
The program is expected to begin in spring of 2024 and will charge drivers a fee to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street.
The toll fee is yet to be decided by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority.
The plan has been approved by the Federal Highway Administration and could generate up to $1 billion in revenue yearly.
The revenue will be used to upgrade the city's mass transit systems.
