Congestion pricing in Manhattan

Gov. Andrew Cuomo has changed course and now believes that some form of charging motorists to enter Manhattan is called for. He said his plan will be different from the one then-Mayor Mike Bloomberg proposed a decade ago. While Cuomo didn't give specifics on the plan he is considering, one plan that has already gotten a lot of attention would put tolls on the East River crossings while lowering tolls on other outer-borough bridges, such as the Verrazano, and charging drivers who enter or exit Midtown Manhattan at 60th Street at peak times.
