"NYC Tunnel Drivers to Receive Congestion-Toll Discount, MTA Board to Determine Pricing Fees"

Drivers using tolled tunnels to cross the Hudson or East rivers in NYC will receive a discount on the upcoming Manhattan congestion charge, ranging from $4 to $7. The base congestion charge, which is yet to be determined, could cost between $9 and $23. The toll board is required to generate $1 billion per year to fund MTA projects, and any exemptions or credits approved will require an offset. New Jersey politicians, who have opposed the congestion charge, have sought tunnel discounts. The toll is expected to be implemented by May.
