Opposition to New York City's Central Business District Tolling Program

The House of Representatives expresses opposition to New York City's Central Business District Tolling Program. This program proposes charging drivers up to $23 daily to enter Manhattan below 60th Street, potentially imposing significant burdens on commuters, students, low-income families, and small businesses, while also increasing congestion in outer boroughs.
Key points
Drivers could face charges of up to $23 per day to enter downtown Manhattan, potentially costing daily commuters around $5,000 annually.
The program is expected to particularly harm small businesses that need to travel into Manhattan and could lead to increased costs for consumers.
The House of Representatives recommends halting the program and conducting a publicly available economic impact report.
