Eyewitness NewsIn this edition of Eyewitness News Extra Time, we have more on the fallout surrounding congestion pricing and the decision to put the plan on hold with less than four weeks before tolling was set to begin.
The plan calls for drivers to be charged up to $15 to enter Manhattan, south of 60th Street. The toll would be higher for trucks. Taxis and rideshares had planned to pass on their added costs to the customers. All of this was set to begin on June 30. The governor says she is still committed to these projects. Now she is exploring other funding sources.
