Traveling into New York City by road will soon come with a new price tag for passenger vehicles and truckers as the state institutes new tolls later this month. While all vehicles will have a toll to pay, the price put on commercial trucks will have a "huge cost" on the trucking industry, which one expert warns will "trickle down" to consumers.
According to MTA, the New York City congestion pricing plan is set to go into effect on June 30. Prices are broken down by type of vehicle and include surcharges for taxis and rideshares. Motorcycles must pay a $7.50 toll, cars a $15 toll and large trucks a $36 toll, while taxis and rideshares have a lower surcharge rate. Much of Manhattan south of 60th Street is included in the congestion pricing plan.
