Unpause the Pause: Implement Congestion Pricing Now
Congestion pricing, which was scheduled to start June 30, would require vehicles entering Manhattan’s central business district (CBD), between 60th street to the southern tip of Manhattan, to pay varying tolls based on the vehicle type and the day and time of entrance. The tolls were expected to raise $1 billion a year, which when bonded would add $15 billion to the MTA’s current mass transit capital budget. This would help the MTA modernize, improve and add services to its overall public transportation system, creating easier and more sustainable public access to the CBD by enhancing bus and subway service and adding more and safer bike lanes.
