Hochul announces revised congestion pricing plan to start in January

Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) announced a new $9 toll for entering Manhattan, ending a monthslong debate about when and if she would implement the congestion pricing plan she indefinitely paused.

The governor paused the toll plan before it began in June, citing that the $15 cost for passenger vehicles was too much. Reports came out indicating it may have been a political move to prevent a drop in support for Democratic New York House candidates.
