Governor Kathy Hochul is reportedly looking to revive NYC's congestion pricing plan, aiming to reduce Manhattan traffic and fund mass transit before President-elect Donald Trump takes office, as he's vowed to halt the program. FOX 5's Arthur Chi'en has the story.
Hochul’s congestion pricing revamp – which was confirmed by multiple sources – would lower the $15 toll on cars entering Lower Manhattan originally slated to begin in June, before the governor put it on an indefinite “pause.”The governor’s office had eyed an even-lower toll of $7, but sources said doing so would trigger a lengthy environmental review.
