Congestion Relief Zone tolling begins
January 5.
On November 14, 2024, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced a phased-in
approach to New York’s Congestion Pricing program, which was
previously on pause. Today, the MTA Board approved this plan. Now,
Congestion Relief Zone tolling will begin on Sunday, January 5, at
midnight.
When tolling begins, vehicles entering the Congestion Relief Zone in
Manhattan—local streets and avenues at or below 60 Street—will be
charged a toll.
The toll amount will depend on the type of vehicle, time of day,
whether any crossing credits apply, and the method of payment. For
example, passenger vehicles with E-ZPass entering the Congestion
Relief Zone at 60 Street will be charged $9 in the peak period and
$2.25 overnight, once daily. Visit our website for more details on toll
rates.
E-ZPass is the best and cheapest way to pay the toll. Most drivers will
be able to pay with their existing E-ZPass tag and account.
If you already have an E-ZPass account, make sure it is up to date
with your current license plate number as this will be needed for
appropriate discounts, exemptions, and crossing credits.
