The program, which would charge drivers a fee for entering Manhattan south of 60th St., aims to ease traffic in central Manhattan, reduce pollution and raise funds for public transit improvements.

Congestion pricing will be implemented in New York City with a reduced toll after the plan was delayed back in June, Gov. Kathy Hochul said on Thursday. The toll will now cost $9. The original plan was to charge cars entering Manhattan below 60th Street $15 during peak hours.
