The MTA’s congestion pricing plan is still running afoul of New York City’s rideshare industry and its tens of thousands of drivers, even after the agency committed to capping tolls on for-hire vehicles and yellow cabs to one per day in its final environmental assessment of the program.
In its 958-page final environmental assessment, released after getting an effective green light from federal regulators, the MTA committed to, among other things, ensuring that New York City taxis and for-hire vehicles are not tolled more than once per day when congestion pricing is implemented, which at this point is expected sometime in 2024.
