Gov. Kathy Hochul is reportedly considering reviving congestion pricing, which she paused this summer, as the start of Donald Trump’s second presidential term looms.
Politico reported that Hochul is weighing her options with the federal Department of Transportation to revive the toll of driving into Manhattan south of 60th Street. Specifically, she is reportedly interested in whether lowering the base toll for motorists from $15 to $9 would require another lengthy environmental assessment. amNewYork Metro was unable to independently verify the report — which was also covered by the New York Times and NY1 — by press time.
