yesterdayThe Metropolitan Transportation Authority has passed the congestion pricing plan during Wednesday's board meeting.
The MTA held a board meeting to discuss the pros and cons of the plan. Nearly everyone on the MTA board says it'll be a good initiative as the extra money will go toward subway improvements, even if drivers have to pay a little extra.
The plan from the Traffic Mobility Review Board would see cars entering Manhattan south of 60th Street pay $15, trucks pay between $24 and $36, depending on their size, motorcycles paying $7.50, ride-shares paying $2.50 and taxis paying $1.50 during the day.
There will now be a final vote after the 60-day public comment period following Wednesday's approval.
