Governor Kathy Hochul's new plan calls for a $9 fee on most vehicles driving into Manhattan neighborhoods south of 60th Street.

New York City will adopt congestion pricing on certain roads in January, Governor Kathy Hochul announced, after an 11th-hour delay earlier this year cast the programme into doubt. The revised plan features lower fees for vehicles entering designated zones of Manhattan.

New York announced that most cars will now have to pay to enter the city at peak hours, a hotly debated move intended to reduce traffic.
