Leaders in a Hudson Valley community claim they're being charged congestion fees without even entering Manhattan.

It has been three months since congestion pricing rolled into Manhattan.

"On the pros side, it cuts down on pollution and reduces traffic. The cons, it's higher prices especially the business people, trucking companies that have to make deliveries. It's expensive," says George, who lives in the Hudson Valley.

Feelings about it are still mixed from some commuters in the Hudson Valley.

"The congestion seems to be less, it's kind of a pain but actually I know it's paying for subways and making things better so it's not a big deal," says Westchester County resident Ron Morgan.

However, Putnam County Executive Kevin Byrne knows exactly how he feels about it.

"I always felt that this is a tolling system that is punitive to businesses but also individuals who have to drive to Manhattan, they should scrap the system," Byrne tells News 12.

That's especially the case now after an issue he says was uncovered by the county’s office of consumer affairs.

"One of our county vehicles got fined three different occasions for going into Manhattan. The reality is that vehicle never went into Manhattan at all," says Byrne.

On top of that, Byrne says the car in the picture on the bill doesn't match the county car being charged.

He says the county is trying to dispute the fine.

"We got charged with a late fee shortly there after," says Byrne.

The bill is now nearly $60.

Officials with the MTA say claims like these are infrequent. They tell News 12 that they take them seriously and they have a call center for drivers to reach out to.

Also data shows, congestion pricing is working.
