Article: New York suspends indefinitely the opening of a planned urban toll
The planned implementation of an urban toll in New York has been indefinitely suspended. The program, also known as « congestion pricing, » aimed to reduce traffic congestion and improve air quality in Manhattan by charging drivers a fee to enter the most congested areas of the city. However, the implementation of the program has been delayed due to concerns about its potential impact on low-income commuters and small businesses. The announcement was made by Governor Kathy Hochul, who stated that further study is needed to ensure that the program is fair and equitable.
