How it works The program is designed to reduce congestion in the area, where 700k vehicles travel daily. If implemented, drivers would pay $9-$23 to drive below 60th Street during peak hours starting next spring. Some, such as taxi/ride-share and low-income drivers, may receive discounts or exemptions. Opponents, including taxi and ride-share drivers and those from the suburbs and outer boroughs, have been fending off congestion pricing for [over a decade](113/d2q-Vf04/VWsC708wYL7RW3vHT4Y79QcVQW4125np4_J6PjN4WpFfV2-MK5V1-WJV7CgXmQW2N5WB_1FvBqHW6tWWB945n5_6V2HVYQ665HyDW7-Q7nK2CZfz-VV3RwZ5DVYgPMy_ZfmTvQByW8sJN4p41WcY_W7B37cX5z5fC8W8B9jwp1GHhXQVnsWDM6GjGKzW58TzGL33V7GgW6nYvHf26RnqLW4Yfgzz8YgNk6W4wWKLH91tGXSW3WK7R94blQrdVSGHW96PMGvFW6yTPRL4KVHDwW1TlrrC3q11tKW7zNQC16j43kfW1LGW992cVq8h328H1). But proponents say it matters, because that much traffic: - Costs New Yorkers, on average, 117 hours and ~$2k in lost productivity annually - Creates pollution (including noise pollution from all the honking) Also: New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority would use congestion fees to improve public transit, which residents could use to dine, shop, and work in the area — sans the stress of driving and parking.
