NEW YORK (PIX11) -- New Yorkers can sound off on the NYC congestion pricing plan in a series of public hearings.
The four public hearings will be hybrid, both virtual and in-person, where people can express their comments and concerns. The hearings will take place on:
- Thursday, Feb. 29 at 6 p.m.
- Friday, March 1 at 10 a.m.
- Monday, March 4 at 10 a.m.
- Monday, March 4 at 6 p.m.
All public hearings will be held in person at MTA Headquarters, 2 Broadway, on the 20th Floor inside the William J. Ronan Board Room.
Those who want to register to speak at these hearings will need to sign up online or call 646-252-6777. Registration opens one week before the start time of each hearing date and then the registration will close 30 minutes after the start of the hearing.
The approved plan was announced earlier in December and it will impose a $15 toll on passenger cars entering Manhattan below 60th Street. There would be a 75% discount overnight and a $5 rebate for cars entering from the nearby tunnels.
The MTA is set to put together a toll schedule with proposed rates before the public hearings begin in February. The board will then vote on a start date.
