A new congestion pricing scheme in New York City will increase tolls for drivers entering the Central Business District starting January 5th. Learn about the toll rates, exemptions, and impacts on drivers.

New Jersey drivers will soon have to pay more to enter New York City . Starting January 5th, tolls for entering New York via various bridges and tunnels will increase by $0.68. This new fee, known as the congestion pricing toll, will apply to drivers entering Manhattan 's Central Business District (CBD), which encompasses the area south of 60th Street in Manhattan . The toll varies depending on the time of day and whether a driver uses EZ-Pass, an electronic toll collection system.

During peak traffic hours, most cars with EZ-Pass will be charged $9 per day. Drivers without EZ-Pass will pay more, and commercial vehicles will be subject to differing rates. There are some exemptions, including emergency vehicles, school buses, and drivers with disabilities. Low-income drivers who pay the toll 10 times in a month can apply for a 50% discount
