Bill > A01747

This bill modifies the Vehicle and Traffic Law by delaying the start date of the Central Business District (CBD) Tolling Program from December 31, 2020 to January 1, 2031. The CBD Tolling Program is a congestion pricing initiative in New York City where vehicles entering a specific area of Manhattan would be charged a toll to reduce traffic and generate revenue for public transportation. The bill maintains the original program requirements, including a mandatory 30-day initial testing period where no tolls will be collected and a subsequent 60-day period where only established tolls can be collected without additional fees, fines, or charges. The Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority remains responsible for determining the exact operation date within this new timeframe. The legislation takes effect immediately, effectively pushing back the implementation of this tolling program by approximately a decade.
