New York City Will Charge Drivers Going Downtown
The toll is formally known as the Central Business District Tolling Program — but it’s commonly called “congestion pricing.”
In practice it works like any other toll, but because it specifically charges people to drive in the traffic-choked area below 60th street in Manhattan, it would be the first program of its kind in the United States.
Proposals range from charging vehicles $9 to $23 during peak hours, and it’s set to go into effect next spring.
