The MTA Board has formally voted to recommend a $15 congestion pricing toll to enter Manhattan’s central business district, teeing up months of public input ahead of an anticipated debut in late spring 2024.
The Wednesday morning vote is not a final approval for the tolling scheme to drive into Manhattan south of 60th Street, but still represents one of the final hurdles the mammoth proposal had to clear before it could be implemented. The board’s members voted 9-to-1 to approve the Traffic Mobility Review Board’s (TMRB) proposal, with Nassau County rep David Mack voting in the negative.
