Make your contribution now and help Gothamist thrive in 2023.The long-discussed plan to start charging New Yorkers for driving into Midtown and Lower Manhattan was given a federal green light, clearing the road ahead for the toll’s rollout.
“Congestion pricing will reduce traffic in our crowded downtown, improve air quality and provide critical resources to the MTA,” Gov. Kathy Hochul said in a statement. “I am proud of the thorough environmental assessment process we conducted, including responding to thousands of comments from community members from across the region. With the green light from the federal government, we look forward to moving ahead with the implementation of this program.
Following Friday's green light the state has about 310 days to get the system up and running, putting the estimated arrival date of congestion pricing in April 2024.
