Bill > S04370

This bill authorizes the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority (TBTA) to implement a congestion pricing program for motorcycles in New York City's central business district (CBD), with a key provision that motorcycle tolls will be set at half the rate of tolls for other vehicles. The bill amends the existing vehicle and traffic law to explicitly include motorcycles in the congestion pricing scheme, which aims to reduce traffic congestion and generate funding for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's (MTA) capital projects. The tolling program is designed to ensure annual revenues that will help fund the MTA's 2020-2024 capital program, with a target of generating at least $15 billion for infrastructure improvements. Motorcyclists will be subject to the same daily entry restrictions as other vehicles, meaning no more than one toll can be charged per day for entering the CBD. The bill will take effect 120 days after becoming law, with provisions allowing for immediate preparation of rules and regulations necessary for implementation.
