NYC's Congestion Pricing Plan Gets Green Light from Feds and Biden Administration.

The Federal Highway Administration has approved the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's plan to add a toll around Manhattan's central business district, which could charge drivers as much as $23 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street. New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is "closely assessing" legal options over the decision, calling it "unfair" and a "money grab." The MTA would use the money generated from the tolling program to fund its capital plan to improve subways and buses, while also reducing pollution and congestion in the most trafficked part of the region.
