Democrat-run New York is poised to become the first U.S. city to hit drivers with punitive tolls after transit officials on Wednesday approved a $15 fee for most motorists headed to the busiest part of Manhattan.
AP reports members of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority board approved the congestion pricing impost, expected to go into effect in June.
The board waved through only minor changes to a plan presented to the public months ago while rejecting all requests for exceptions by dozens of groups of commuters.
The approved measure requires a $15 toll on most commuter passenger vehicles entering Manhattan south of 60th Street during daytime hours. Tolls vary for larger vehicles and are reduced for late-night entries and motorcycles.
The initiative isn’t entirely new. Other international cities, such as London, Stockholm, Milan, and Singapore, have similar fees, penalizing private motorists for entering their busiest and most popular areas. However, infuriated citizens have resisted in London.
London police revealed Friday nearly 300 incidents of attacks against spy cameras used in the city’s Ultra-Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) have been recorded ahead of the contentious scheme’s wider rollout later this month. https://t.co/6A5XwsuZwi
