Adams wavers on congestion pricing plan as MTA set to formally recommend $15 toll

Mayor Eric Adams is hesitant to support the current proposal for New York City’s congestion pricing program, proposing policy changes ahead of a vote by the MTA Board to recommend a $15 toll for entering lower Manhattan.

The mayor told reporters Tuesday that he’s miffed over the Traffic Mobility Review Board’s (TMRB) recommendations for the “two yellows,” taxis and school buses, both of which he feels should be fully exempt from tolls to cross into Manhattan south of 60th Street.
