After putting congestion pricing on pause back in June, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced earlier today (Nov. 14) a lower daily congestion pricing fee of $9 to help fund the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s capital plan and reduce congestion and air pollution in Downtown Manhattan. The governor reduced the fee from the original $15 charge that was to be instituted back in June.
MTA CEO Janno Lieber and others expressed support for the lower tolling fee that the governor said would bring in the $15 billion to the MTA that the higher fee was projected to raise.
