Frequently Asked Questions
How much is the NYC congestion pricing toll?
Passenger vehicles: $9 peak (5AM-9PM weekdays, 9AM-9PM weekends), $2.25 off-peak. Small trucks: $14.40 peak. Large trucks: $21.60 peak. Motorcycles: $4.50 peak. Charged once per day per vehicle.
Who is exempt from congestion pricing?
Emergency vehicles, vehicles carrying people with disabilities (with valid permit), and vehicles just passing through on through-routes (FDR Drive, West Side Highway) that don't exit into the zone. Residents within the zone still pay but can get a tax credit.
Does congestion pricing apply to Uber and Lyft?
Yes. A $2.50 per-ride surcharge is added to Uber, Lyft, and other for-hire vehicles. Taxis get a $1.25 surcharge. These are added to the passenger fare. The per-ride charge replaced the previous $2.75 yellow cab surcharge.
How will congestion pricing affect my commute costs?
A daily commuter driving into Manhattan pays $9/day peak = ~$198/month (22 work days). Combined with parking ($400-700/month), the total driving cost into Manhattan now exceeds $600-900/month — making mass transit even more cost-effective.
Is there a resident credit for congestion pricing?
NYC residents living in the congestion zone (below 60th Street) with adjusted gross income under $60,000 receive a state tax credit for congestion pricing tolls paid during the tax year. The credit effectively offsets the toll for lower-income residents.
