New Jersey Sen. George Helmy said congestion pricing could drive businesses out of New York City and into the Garden State on "The Point with."

NEW YORK — New York City officials are doing everything possible to reduce traffic congestion in one of the busiest cities in the world — including trying to stick drivers with a daily toll just to go to work.

New York City’s new congestion pricing plan will be less costly to drivers. This week, the MTA board approved a new congestion pricing plan for the city, which will toll cars entering the city south of 60th Street starting on Jan.

Catching an Uber or a green cab? Instead of paying a daily toll, for-hire vehicles licensed with the NYC Taxi & Limousine Commission will be eligible for a smaller per-trip charge paid by the passenger. The charge will apply for each trip “to, from, or within” the congestion relief zone.

New York City has received a green light from the Biden administration to implement a retooled congestion pricing program, but the plan still faces lawsuits from opponents and anticipated pushback from incoming President-elect Donald Trump.
