NY lawmakers weigh lower congestion pricing fee – but Trump could kill tolls if elected
State lawmakers are considering reducing the $15 base fee for congestion pricing in order to convince Gov. Kathy Hochul to unfreeze the program — but experts say that process could be moot if former President Donald Trump returns to the White House and makes good on his promise to kill the Manhattan tolls.
Hoylman-Sigal didn’t share what price he thinks would be right, but said he’d push for “dynamic pricing,” meaning tolls that would increase or decrease based on the amount of gridlock in Manhattan. And any change to the $15 base price would need approval from the MTA board, which legal experts say would require a 60-day public comment period. Then, the Federal Highway Administration would need to review and sign off on any effects to traffic that would come with the amended pricing structure.
In May — less than two weeks before Hochul paused congestion pricing — Trump promised on social media to “TERMINATE Congestion Pricing in my FIRST WEEK back in Office!!” Traffic analyst Bruce Schaller acknowledged that $5 or $6 for the tolls has less sticker shock than the $15 fee approved by the MTA — but those smaller amounts would significantly reduce the funding the program is supposed to provide for transit improvements.
