New York City Implements Controversial Congestion Charge for Manhattan

Starting Sunday, New York City will charge a congestion fee for drivers entering Manhattan, aiming to reduce traffic and improve public transportation. The fee will be at least nine dollars, with significant opposition from various groups, including New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy and former President Donald Trump, who criticize the burden on lower-income residents and potential business impacts. The initiative, backed by Governor Kathy Hochul, is projected to generate an additional billion dollars annually for public transit improvements.
