New York plans to revive a $9 congestion mitigation charge for driving in Manhattan starting in January that the state indefinitely put on hold earlier this year, Governor Kathy Hochul said Thursday.

New York City will adopt congestion pricing on certain roads in January, Governor Kathy Hochul announced, after an 11th-hour delay earlier this year cast the programme into doubt. The revised plan features lower fees for vehicles entering designated zones of Manhattan.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul OK'd a first-in-the-nation congestion pricing plan that would charge $9 to most vehicles entering Manhattan during peak hours.
