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.

During a Monday public meeting, the MTA voted to approve the congestion pricing plan, which means that anyone driving below 60th Street will pay $9 for the privilege of driving into New York City. Those driving overnight will get a discounted rate of $2.25.

After pausing the introduction over the summer, Gov. Kathy Hochul has revived efforts to institute the toll to enter the area south of 60th Street in Manhattan, or the Central Business District (CBD),
