The MTA has set dates for the final public hearings before their congestion pricing plan is slated to officially roll out. Rockland Congressman Mike Lawler of the 17th district told “The Morning Show” Wednesday called it a cash-grab by the MTA…
Earlier this month, the MTA board approved tolls that charge drivers $15 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street between 5am and 9pm on weekdays, and $3.75 overnight. Small trucks would pay $24, large trucks will be charged $36. At least two lawsuits are still challenging the plan. The hearings are scheduled for Thursday, February 29th at 6pm, Friday, March 1st at 10am, Monday, March 4th at 10am and 6pm. The MTA is still accepting comments online, by email, regular mail, fax and voicemail.
