| April 08, 2008 | | The congestion pricing plan would have affected both truck and passenger drivers by charging them to drive below 60th street during specific hours. The plan was not accepted. What will be the next possible solution to reduce congestion? | The congestion pricing plan in New York City has come to an abrupt stop with the New York State Assembly rejecting the proposal. The plan would have given New York $354 million Federal dollars for implementing a plan to reduce the congestion in Manhattan. The plan included a toll for both cars and truck driving below 60th Street in Manhattan from 6AM to 6PM on the weekends. Many other options will now be considered to reduce the congestion in New York, while also reducing the emissions from vehicles and improving the air quality. The congestion pricing plan would have put a huge tax on delivery vehicles and may have increased the prices of products in New York City. | | |
