NYC Congestion Pricing Wins Key Approval From Transit Board
- Most cars entering Manhattan below 60th street will pay $15
- Program still faces lawsuits that could block implementation
Drivers in New York City inched closer to paying a new fee to enter Manhattan’s central business district after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority approved the nation’s first congestion-pricing plan, which could begin as soon as mid-June.
The board of the MTA, which is implementing the toll, authorized the pricing structure in an 11-to-1 vote during its monthly meeting on Wednesday.
