NYC Congestion Pricing Set to Start January 5 with $9 Toll, Despite NJ Lawsuit and FHWA Review
Dec 31, 2024, 01:30 PM
New York City's congestion pricing program is set to commence on January 5, 2025, following a federal judge's ruling on a lawsuit filed by New Jersey. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has confirmed that the tolling will start as planned, despite New Jersey's contention that the ruling should delay implementation. The program will charge drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street a $9 toll during peak hours. The judge, Leo Gordon, largely sided with the MTA but requested further details from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) by January 17, 2025, regarding the environmental impact on New Jersey communities. New York Governor Kathy Hochul stated that the program is a significant step towards reducing congestion and improving public transit, while New Jersey officials argue that the ruling necessitates a pause until further clarification from the FHWA.
