The Metropolitan Transportation Authority has given the green light to a $9 charge for vehicles driving in Manhattan, which will start on January 5.
The aim of this initiative is to raise billions of dollars for improving mass transit and tackling the issue of traffic congestion in the area. This decision is part of a strategic effort to improve public transportation infrastructure and encourage more sustainable commuting options.
The revenue generated from this charge is expected to be crucial in supporting various transit projects, ultimately benefiting commuters and the urban environment as a whole.
