New York City to charge congestion fees

A plan to charge motorists entering midtown Manhattan could go into effect as soon as the end of 2023, according to Metropolitan Transportation Authority CEO Janno Lieber.

The MTA, which runs the city’s subways, buses and commuter rails, will start building the infrastructure needed to launch congestion pricing next year, “so it will happen at the end of 2023 or early 2024”, Lieber said. The initiative would increase tolls for drivers entering the mosttrafficked parts of New York City.
