(New York, NY) — New York Governor Kathy Hochul says she will make some moves soon to implement congestion pricing, after she put the toll plan on pause back in the Spring. Hochul says she wants a lower toll for drivers who go below 60th Street in Manhattan. The governor will now work with the state legislature to figure out how to amend the plan by the end of 2024
