New York City considering first US congestion charge
New York City[1] could become the first place in the US to introduce a congestion charge[2] in a bid to reduce traffic and pollution[3] levels.
The charge[4] would apply on weekdays from 6:00am to 18:00pm, and according to proposals, make a £15 fee mandatory for anyone wanting to enter Manhattan below 60th Street in a car.
If you’re in a truck, taxi, or other type of vehicle, it’ll be even more, with tour buses and larger vehicles paying out £36 each time.
