The MTA is hosting eight public webinars during the first three weeks of December where people can learn about Congestion Relief Zone tolling.
The 60-minute webinars will explain how the Congestion Relief Zone works, how the program benefits the region, discounts and exemptions, and what people need to know before tolling begins on Sunday, January 5. The sessions will also feature a Q&A. There will be one public webinar with a focus on the Individual Disability Exemption Plan (IDEP) and another on the Low-Income Discount Plan (LIDP).

Starting on January 5, 2025, vehicles will be tolled to enter the Congestion Relief Zone in Manhattan—local streets and avenues at or below 60 Street excluding the FDR Drive, West Side Highway/Route 9A, and the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel connections to West Street. The toll amount will depend on the type of vehicle, time of day, whether any crossing credits apply, and the method of payment. Learn more about toll rates.
Make sure your current license plate is linked to your E-ZPass account to get the lower toll rate and any applicable crossing credits, discounts and exemptions when entering the Congestion Relief Zone. Learn more about discounts and exemptions.
