Drivers headed to downtown Manhattan will face a new toll beginning in spring 2024. The final fee, which is still up for debate, is expected to be between $9 and $23 dollars per day for passenger vehicles. Commercial vehicles will be charged upon each entry and exit to the zone. Regional planners believe the toll will nudge some drivers onto transit. The MTA plans to use the proceeds from congestion pricing to shore up its aging infrastructure. Watch the video above to see how New York City is planning to spend the cash raised by the new toll.

Interesting how NY government says they want to reduce congestion while simultaneously fighting to get employees out of their homes and back in the office. This isn't about congestion, it's about creating another revenue stream for the city which will ultimately be grossly mismanaged, just like the rest of our taxes

The most frustrating thing is that the mayor of NYC can make every bus super reliable and fast today without asking anyone for permission or funding or anything, make every bus super reliable and fast.

Again, no one is stopping him from doing this today.

Create bicycle and pedestrian lanes for healthy commuting and allow cross town vehicles every 10 blocks. This isn't about the environment and health of New Yorkers. This is a money grab.

As someone who has moved to the Netherlands not so long ago, I find it interesting that many densely populated areas are without debilitating car traffic, but the dutch use convenience to discourage driving, not tolls. It is often simplier, (cheaper) and faster to take a bike or public transport to an area than taking your car. Every single dutch road is free (bar two bridges) in the entire country. People don't complain about traffic reduction because the government isn't reaching in their pockets if they want to go somewhere. What baffled me was, at least where I live, most households have at least 2-3 cars that they use regularily. The dutch have about the same cars per person as NY. ps.: The added benefit of using convenience rather than money as an incentive is that (as others pointed out below), you are not "banning" low income people and giving a free pass to the rich. Poor and rich take the same, convenient route when they can.

@Chaotic_Pixie 8 месяцев назад

Exactly. In order to generate the anticipated income, the number of cars passing thru NYC needs to stay the same. With 2 bridges across the Hudson, outside of the zone, ppl will just skip the GW all together. They all accept semis/tractor trailers & motorists then have the option to dive down onto I95 or stick to the car-only parkways (regardless if you're in Connecticut or New Jersey) but the bridges further north of the city are only 1 level with 4 lanes in each direction rather than 2 levels with 8 lanes in each direction total. This will make a lot of folks heading from New England down or from the Mid-Atlantic up avoid NYC entirely. I mean, many of us do already when congestion is bad because it's quicker to go an hour out of your way. When you're opting to drive rather than fly anything over 6hrs, it's because it's cheaper to drive & $$ counts. I think they should reckon on half or less of the anticipated funds & screams from small Hudson River towns points north as they become absolutely inundated with traffic.

If you listen to this particular report you will see the fallacy of those improvements. Charge people to drive so that the income generated can be used for improvements. Those improvements cost a lot more than the budgeted income generated. Plus the ‘expectation’ is that fewer people will drive therefore that income generated will be lower than projected almost by design. I would argue many of the environmental improvements are caused by the increase in electric cars, the regulation around improving diesel car emissions, increased government funding for buses partly paid for by increasing council taxes and some of the highest public transport costs in europe.

It's by far the best public transport of any major city I've visited in Europe and beyond. For this to work in NYC, they need to invest heavily in public transport BEFORE putting the restrictions / charges in place. *Londeners, who have to live with it day in day out, may have a different perspective on their public transport system's 'reliability.'

I agree with everything you said except one very important detail. You said they need to INVEST more money BEFORE they raise the money to INVEST. Unfortunately, money doesn’t work like that.

@coasterfest 8 месяцев назад

@@TheOfficialOriginalChadYes, here in the UK, national taxpayer funds are regularly made available to local authorities for infrastructure or service projects like this. It often involves bidding for the cash. Even projects as trivial as repairing pot holes can be funded by the national government if your city / borough bids for the cash and wins. I don’t know if the USA has any way for states / cities to bid for federal funds for projects like this, but if you do that would be one way to fund it. It’s difficult for me to suggest other ideas, as honestly I’m pretty ignorant to how things like this are financed in the states compared to the UK. But another possibility is private funding. Like I said though, I’m aware that I’m essentially clueless on how public projects such as improving public transport are funded in the USA, so maybe you’re right, maybe the only option is to collect the funds first. It seems odd to me though, that they’d try and discourage car use without ensuring the alternative infrastructure and services are up to scratch first.

NJ guv Murphy and Congressman Gottheimer should ask for extension of No 7 subway to Weehawken and Secaucus in return for the congestion pricing fee.

The answer would be no. They don’t control NY nor the MTA. That’s like saying I want some of your Apple so go pick the fruit & wash it for me & I’ll take a bite. Ok?

@benqurayza7872 8 месяцев назад

@tuanx No, I'm recommending a mutually beneficial deal, which is common in politics. NJ and NY are adjacent to one another in the same region and same country. They are merely separated by a boundary line drawn nearly four centuries ago before the United States. Now, may I have a bite of the apple?

Basically drivers are punished for traveling to Manhattan. A sign too many people are concentrated in NYC.

@ex0stasis72 8 месяцев назад

Or it's a sign that too many people live in the suburbs with poor public transportation and are commuting into Manhattan. If you live in or very close to Manhattan, then owning a car is more of a luxury than a necessity.

NYC regularly tried to double-dip charging me with by mail tolls. First, they send the notices out 3-4 days after the late date (postmarks prove this), send out notices for tickets i paid months ago, and on top of this all, tried to tell me I owe back payments from the late 80s. I was born in the mid 90s.

@youtubeuser1052 8 месяцев назад

I think the key question is whether they'll increase buses exactly when they start the congestion pricing. If they plan ahead and get park and ride lots and double or triple the number of buses on the exact same day then maybe it'll work. But if they just hammer drivers with fees without giving them an acceptable alternative then hopefully people will take the hint and abandon New York. I have on occasion taken mass transit into NYC, but it's just not worth it. For a while I used to drive in, but I have long since stopped even that and just abandoned NYC entirely.
