An official tells Eyewitness News the implementation of congestion pricing in New York City has been indefinitely postponed. It will not start on June 30 as originally planned.
Wednesday, June 5, 2024 2:12PMAccording to the official, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is convinced the timing is not right because Manhattan businesses have not fully recovered from the pandemic.
It is also apparently because Democrats are facing difficult House races in the New York City suburbs. Republicans have planned to use congestion pricing as a political wedge.The MTA, which would potentially face a $1 billion budget deficit without implementation, declined to comment. There remains a belief that congestion pricing is inevitable. The plan would charge $15 toll for passenger cars driving south of 60th Street from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m. weekdays. There are certain exceptions. Several lawsuits are challenging the plan.Do you have questions or story ideas about congestion pricing? Tell us how congestion pricing could impact your commute.
