The first congestion pricing plan in the U.S. has begun, charging most drivers $9 a day to enter the lower half of Manhattan. The long-debated plan is projected to raise up to $800 million a year for the city's aging public transit system.

New York's MTA is claiming that, after only one week, the "congestion parking" initiative implemented is "working"

The scheme aims to ease New York's notorious traffic problems and raise billions for the public transport network. Most drivers are charged $9 once per day to enter the congestion zone at peak hours, and $2.25 at other times.

These hybrid work locomotives will enable the MTA to realize its ambitious capital plan to improve subway operations by replacing an aging fleet and improving reliability,” said Alan Hamilton, Vice President of Engineering for Wabtec.

Drivers who obscure their plates or otherwise circumvent paying tolls already cost the city’s mass transit system millions of dollars.

New York’s new toll for drivers entering the center of Manhattan means many people will pay $9 to access the busiest part of the Big Apple during peak hours. The toll is meant to reduce traffic gridlock in the city and raise money to fix its ailing public transit infrastructure. (AP Video: David R. Martin / Jan. 6, 2025)

Anticipating a rise in so-called "ghost vehicles" with the advent of congestion pricing, New York City officials are looking to give police more leeway to go after drivers who hide or obstruct their license plates.

New York City's congestion pricing may force many to reevaluate their workplace locations, as these tolls pose a significant financial burden to employees.

New Jersey lost the lawsuit, allowing congestion pricing to go ahead without any revenue sharing, the New York Times reported. The state’s lawyers also intended to appeal the federal court’s decision. Fulop, who’s running for Murphy’s job, wants to force the Empire State back into discussions. He told WNYW:

NEW YORK (AP) — A new toll on drivers entering the core of Manhattan brought modest but measurable traffic reductions to New York City’s heavily-gridlocked streets in its first week of operation, according to preliminary data released Monday by the state’s transit authority.
