The MTA Board on Monday approved the new, reduced congestion pricing program, setting up the hotly anticipated start of tolling for cars and trucks driving into Manhattan below 60th Street in the new year.
The transit agency’s new congestion pricing plan will start at a $9 base toll just after midnight on Sunday, Jan. 5, with a “phased-in” approach creeping up to the originally-approved $15 rate by 2031.
