Relief for New York City Congestion Fees

This bill aims to ease the financial burden on drivers entering New York City's congestion zone via specific tunnels and bridges. If passed, drivers using these crossings would receive a credit against the congestion fee and could also claim a tax credit for these tolls. This could lead to lower commuting costs for many individuals traveling into or through Manhattan.
Key points
Drivers entering Manhattan's congestion zone (south of 60th Street) via the Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel, or George Washington Bridge would get a credit on their congestion toll equal to the crossing toll.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) could lose federal grants if it does not implement these exemptions for drivers.
Drivers would be able to claim a tax credit for congestion tolls paid when entering the zone, potentially reducing their overall tax liability.
