NYC's Revised Congestion Pricing Plan Set to Launch in January

Governor Hochul introduces a $9 toll to fund transit improvements, facing opposition and legal challenges.

• The congestion pricing toll in Manhattan will start on January 5, with a reduced base fee of $9 during peak hours.
• Governor Kathy Hochul aims to implement the plan before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, amid his opposition to the toll.
• The plan is designed to generate $15 billion for the MTA, funding essential transit infrastructure upgrades.
• Critics argue the toll will burden working-class commuters, while supporters claim it will reduce traffic and pollution.
• Discounts are available for low-income drivers and during off-peak hours, with exemptions for certain vehicles.
