New York City Implements $9 Congestion Fee for Manhattan Drivers to Combat Traffic

Credited from: REUTERS

  • New York City has introduced a $9 congestion fee for drivers entering Manhattan on weekdays, marking a first in the U.S.
  • The fee is aimed at raising money for mass transit initiatives and reducing traffic congestion in the busiest areas.
  • Despite efforts from New Jersey to block the fee, it took effect on Sunday as planned, ahead of the inauguration of Donald Trump.
  • The fee will charge passenger vehicles during the day, while trucks face charges up to $21.60 and taxis significant lower rates.
  • New York projects the fee will reduce daily car traffic by approximately 80,000 vehicles and generate $500 million in its first year.
