There's a new congestion pricing toll amount now being proposed by New York Governor Kathy Hochul for Manhattan.
Governor Hochul is lowering the toll from the original 15 dollars to 9 dollars for vehicles heading south of 60th street.
"Is enough to secure the 15 billion dollars in MTA funding that congestion pricing was intended to support."
There would be a three dollar discount for vehicles using the Lincoln and Holland tunnels. The toll would be two dollars 25 cents overnight. New Jersey Congressman Josh Gottheimer is still fighting it.
"The congestion tax has been a coverup for the MTA's mismanagement."
The MTA is expected to approve the measure at next week's board meeting. It would then go into effect January 5th.
