Governor Hochul Unveils Revised $9 Congestion Pricing Plan for NYC

Governor Kathy Hochul has announced a revised plan for congestion pricing in New York City, aiming to reduce traffic and raise billions of dollars for major infrastructure projects. The updated plan now proposes a $9 toll for vehicles entering Midtown and lower Manhattan during peak hours, down from the originally proposed $15. While environmentalists and some lawmakers support the plan, it faces strong opposition, particularly from Republican lawmakers and critics who argue that it could hurt working-class families and suggest focusing on unpaid tolls instead.
