CONFIRMED85% CONFIDENCEStated as firm by the MTA (mta.info[1][2][3][5], 4 Jan 2025): the program "goes into effect this Sunday, Jan. 5, at midnight"; NY1[4]/AP (3 Mar 2026) confirm it "took effect on Jan. 5, 2025". The end is the operative clause of the MTA board's phase-in: initial rates apply "in 2025, 2026, and 2027", and "From 2028 to 2030" the toll is $12.
Most drivers entering Manhattan at or below 60th Street now pay a $9 peak toll with E-ZPass ($2.25 overnight), the first congestion pricing program in the United States. The MTA expects the toll to provide $15 billion for transit upgrades.
