A majority of the MTA board voted Wednesday in favor of New York City congestion pricing, green-lighting the controversial plan that will charge cars $15 to enter Manhattan below 61st Street and hit trucks with even higher tolls starting in just a few months. Only one of the 12 board members opposed the proposal. The no vote was Nassau County board member David Mack.
50 The $15 toll is about a midway point between previously reported possibilities, which have ranged from $9 to $23. The full, daytime rates will be in effect from 5 a.m. until 9 p.m. each weekday, and 9 a.m. until 9 p.m. on the weekends. The board called for toll rates in the off-hours to be about 75% less — about $3.50 instead of $15 for a passenger vehicle. Drivers will only be charged to enter the zone, not to leave it or stay in it.
