NYC Drivers Face $23-a-Ride Congestion Fee as Soon as April 2024

New York City may begin charging motorists traveling into major parts of Manhattan as soon as April 2024.

The congestion pricing plan — the first of its kind in the US — is expected to get final approval next month. It will charge E-ZPass motorists driving south of 60th street, the city’s central business district, as much as $23.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the city’s subways, buses and commuter rail lines, released on Friday a final environmental assessment of the plan that includes new concessions for low-income motorists as well as Uber and Lyft drivers.
