  • New York City has implemented a new congestion pricing system, requiring drivers to pay a $9 toll to enter Manhattan's designated zone.
  • The initiative aims to reduce traffic congestion, encourage public transport use, and raise approximately $15 billion for transit improvements.
  • Exemptions apply for vehicles using specific roads, while tolls will be primarily collected through E-ZPass technology.
  • Projected toll increases to $12 by 2028 and $15 by 2031, with various discounts applicable during off-peak hours.
  • While advocates highlight benefits for public transport, opponents view it as an added financial strain on commuters.
