The MTA will officially begin tolling drivers entering Midtown and lower Manhattan on June 30th, the Daily News has learned.
Transit sources told the News Friday that the agency’s congestion pricing plan is set to go into effect a minute after midnight on the last day of June.
The plan, which will charge a base rate of $15 a day for motor vehicle access to Manhattan surface streets below 61st Street, is intended to cut down on traffic in the city’s central business district and raise $1 billion a year towards the MTA’s capital budget.
