New York races to revive Manhattan tolls intended to fight traffic before Trump can block them

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has revived a plan to impose a toll on drivers entering Manhattan’s central district as a way to reduce congestion and raise billions for the city’s ailing public transit system, but at a lower price tag. The Democrat’s new proposal calls for a $9 fee on most vehicles, a reduction from the $15 fee that was set to take effect in June. Hochul abruptly halted the so-called congestion pricing plan just weeks before it was set to launch this summer. At the time, she said she worried it would cost motorists too much money.
