MTA Bridges and Tunnels President Catherine Sheridan released a statement today saying:
"We are pleased to have received formal approval from the Federal Highway Administration for the phase-in feature of the Central Business District Tolling Program, and in compliance with federal law and regulations, New York State DOT, New York City DOT, TBTA, and the federal government have all signed the Value Pricing Pilot Program Agreement."
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul relaunched the congestion pricing plan on Nov. 14. She had previously paused the plan a few weeks before it was set to take effect in June.
The MTA Board voted 12-1 to approve the new congestion pricing plan in Manhattan on Nov. 18. Drivers will be charged $9 when entering the city below 60th Street.
