What Is NYC Congestion Pricing?

New York City’s congestion pricing is a tolling program targeting vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street, designed to reduce traffic and fund public transit improvements. Fees range from $9 for passenger vehicles during peak hours to $21.60 for large trucks. Discounts apply to E-ZPass users, while non-E-ZPass drivers pay higher rates. The initiative aims to raise billions for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s capital projects, enhance transportation infrastructure, and address environmental concerns. Criticized by commuters and businesses for increasing costs, the program adds to existing tolls on bridges and tunnels, potentially reshaping commuting and delivery economics in the city.
