"NYC's Controversial Congestion Toll Approved: Concerns Over Parking and Fine Print Fees"

The MTA board has approved a controversial congestion toll plan, allowing for a $15 charge per car to drive in Manhattan between 60th Street and the Battery. Trucks will be charged between $24-$36 depending on size. The plan, supported by local politicians like Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul, aims to reduce congestion and raise funds for better transit. However, some opponents, including Nassau County's board member, David Mack, expressed concerns about the costs for Long Islanders. The toll is set to go into effect in spring 2023.
