Governor Kathy Hochul is set to announce a modified version of the Manhattan congestion pricing plan, proposing a base toll of $9. This initiative comes amidst growing pressure from both sides of the political spectrum, with some lawmakers urging her not to proceed with the plan while others support the relief it could provide for the MTA. As Hochul prepares to unveil the revised plan, sources suggest a potential 40% reduction in the original pricing. The revival of congestion pricing is seen as urgent, especially with the looming prospect of new leadership influencing transportation policies.
