This House Resolution expresses strong opposition to the Central Business District Tolling Program in New York City, which would charge drivers up to $23 daily to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street. The resolution asserts that this program would impose a significant financial burden on commuters, students, low-income families, and small businesses, potentially costing daily commuters an estimated $5,000 annually and increasing costs for consumers. The resolution further raises concerns about increased congestion in New York City's outer boroughs and the program's impact on small businesses still recovering from the pandemic. It disapproves of the program and strongly recommends that the State of New York conduct and publicly release an economic impact report. Ultimately, the resolution urges relevant federal agencies and the State of New York to halt the implementation of the Central Business District Tolling Program.
