New York City will begin enforcing its controversial congestion pricing plan on January 5th, 2024. The plan aims to reduce traffic congestion and pollution in Manhattan's central business district by charging drivers a toll to enter the area. Revenue generated will be used to fund public transportation improvements.
Democrat-run New York City will enforce its much-debated plan to charge drivers to enter the center of Manhattan from Sunday, following years of bureaucratic and legal arm wrestling.
A coalition of community groups participate in a demonstration against New York Gov. Kathy Hochul’s congestion pricing plan on December 20, 2024 in New York City. Drivers without an E-ZPass will receive bills by mail and pay more: $13.50 for peak hours and $3.30 overnight.Passengers in taxis and for-hire vehicles will have a per-trip surcharge added to their fares for rides to, from, within or through what is known as the Congestion Relief Zone. That charge is 75 cents for people taking taxis, green cabs and black cars, and $1.50 for Uber or Lyft passengers, the AP report notes.
