The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) of New York has approved a new congestion pricing plan, charging motorists $9 to enter lower Manhattan during peak hours, which is expected to generate $15 billion for infrastructure improvements. The initiative aims to modernize the aging transit system, reduce traffic congestion, and promote the use of public transportation. Although Governor Kathy Hochul has revived the plan after it was previously halted, potential legal challenges remain, particularly from New Jersey's Governor Phil Murphy.
