A cadre of Brooklyn elected officials are calling on the MTA to ensure “equalized tolling” on all crossings into Manhattan under its upcoming congestion pricing plan in the hopes of preventing “bridge shopping” for the cheapest travel.
Sixteen Brooklyn pols repping communities on the East River sent a letter last week making the call to the Traffic Mobility Review Board (TMRB), the six-member internal MTA group that will determine the complex array of rules governing the tolling scheme for entering Manhattan south of 60th Street.
