Congestion pricing started on Sunday, Jan. 5 in New York City, after years of debate, planning, controversy and numerous legal challenges.
For most drivers Monday through Friday from 5 a.m. to 9 p.m., the toll will be $9 if you pay with an E-ZPass. That toll will cover cars, SUVs, pickup trucks and small vans. The same vehicles will pay a $2.25 toll from on weekends or from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m
For high-volume for-hire vehicles, the per-trip charge for passengers will be $1.50. Taxis, green cabs and black cars will have a $0.75 per-trip fee.
The Congestion Relief Zone starts at 60th Street and includes all of Manhattan south of that point. It encompasses all the crossing from Brooklyn and Queens on the east side and New Jersey across the Hudson River.
