NEW YORK – Congestion pricing in New York City cleared its final federal hurdle, officials said on Monday, all but ensuring that the first such programme in the nation will begin in 2024 in an effort to reduce traffic and pollution in Manhattan and fund improvements to mass transit.
But a report it released in August showed that one proposal under review would charge US$23 for a rush-hour trip into midtown and US$17 during off-peak hours.“Congestion pricing will reduce traffic in our crowded downtown, improve air quality and provide critical resources to the MTA,” Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement.
“Congestion pricing is going to help us do that by clearing up clogged roads, by investing in mass transit.” The plan is moving forward despite staunch opposition from taxi drivers, ride-share companies and suburbanites who do not want to pay to drive in Manhattan. And New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, a Democrat, launched a billboard campaign criticising the programme.
