Feds give final approval to New York's congestion pricing program
amNY Sports email newsletterFederal regulators have given final approval to New York City’s congestion pricing program, setting up the long-awaited implementation of tolling on vehicles entering Manhattan’s central business district to reduce congestion and fund the region’s mass transit.
In turn, the FONSI effectively means the feds agree that localized environmental impacts wrought by the program are outweighed by the broader reduction in carbon emissions and pollution that MTA brass say congestion pricing will bring, as fewer people choose to drive into Manhattan and more take mass transit.
With the FONSI, the MTA’s Traffic Mobility Review Board can begin the process of finalizing t0lling rates and the complex array of rules governing the program. The TMRB can set toll rates anywhere within a considerable range previously approved in the environmental assessment: $9-23 for cars, motorcycles, and commercial vans; $12-65 for small trucks; and $12-82 for large trucks.
