  • The initiative charges most drivers $9 during peak hours when entering Manhattan south of 60th Street.
  • This program is the first of its kind in the U.S. and could decrease vehicle numbers by at least 13%.
  • It is projected to generate $15 billion for transit upgrades, amidst ongoing legal challenges.
  • Opponents still contest the toll, with potential lawsuits from New Jersey and local counties in the works.
