After pausing the plan, Gov. Hochul has revived the plan with a proposed $9-a-day toll for motorists traveling south of 60th Street in Manhattan.

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.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Monday approved the newly reduced $9 toll rate for its first-in-the-nation congestion pricing plan, despite the objections of many Long Islanders and their representatives, including the MTA Board member who cast the lone vote against the plan.
