NEW YORK -- The reintroduction of New York City congestion pricing tolls will be discussed at an MTA board meeting today.Last week, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced she wants to launch congestion pricing in early January 2025, but she wants to lower the toll to enter Manhattan below 60th Street from $15 to $9. A joint MTA committee meeting is scheduled for 9 a.m., followed by a regular board meeting at 11 a.m. A livestream of the meeting will be available on the MTA 's website.
'We're still getting the $15 billion to fund the MTA, and drivers are paying $6 less,' she said Thursday.
