New York legislators are about to pass a version of the annual state budget which will definitely include congestion pricing, according to a press release from Governor Cuomo’s office released Sunday night.

Congestion pricing would charge drivers a fee to enter and exist the most traffic-heavy areas of Manhattan during peak travel hours. The goal of this measure would be to divert traffic, bring down carbon emissions, and funnel billions of dollars into subway repair, and other infrastructure projects.
