New York’s Staten Island — New York City finally implemented congestion pricing at midnight on Sunday.

When it is put into practice, the toll is lower than initially suggested.Drivers would have been billed $15 to enter the zone at first. Governor Kathy Hochul stated that the program’s high cost for working New Yorkers was the reason she first opposed it. Most automobiles enter the Congestion Relief Zone (CRZ), which is any surface street in Manhattan south of 60th Street, by paying a $9 toll under the new version.
