Like midtown Manhattan’s bumper-to-bumper traffic, the long journey of New York’s congestion pricing plan has been marked by starts and stops, culminating with Gov. Kathy Hochul’s announcement Thursday that the new tolls will finally take effect on January 5th.

Kathy Hochul has revived a controversial congestion pricing plan for drivers entering Manhattan at 60th Street and below by knocking $6 off the $15 toll she rejected in June. The new $9 toll would need to be approved by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority Board at a meeting next week.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul is resurrecting a toll on people driving into the busiest parts of Manhattan but at a lower cost, a move her allies hope will allow the nation’s first system of congestion pricing to begin operating before President-elect Donald Trump is inaugurated.
