Public hearings
Proposed Toll Rates for the Central Business District (CBD) Toll Program
The Triborouqh Bridge and Tunnel Authority, operating under the name MTA Bridges and Tunnels, will hold a hybrid public hearing to solicit comments on proposed toll rates for the Central Business District (CBD) Toll Program ). The hearings will be held in a hybrid format with the possibility of in-person participation, as well as virtual participation through the online platform Zoom and via conference call; A live broadcast of the meeting will be available on the MTA YouTube channel.

As defined by the MTA's Reform and Traffic Mobility Act of 2019 (the "Act"), TVTA will establish a CBD Tolling Program and will collect tolls from vehicles entering the Manhattan Central Business District, as defined by law. as the area south of and inclusive of 60th Street, but does not include Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR) Drive, New York State Route 9A (including the Battery Park Underpass), and any above-ground portion of the Hugh L. Carey Tunnel that connects with West Street. The program's goal is to reduce traffic congestion and generate revenue to fund $15 billion in improvements to subway, bus and commuter rail systems under the MTA's 2020-2024 capital plan and beyond.

The Act establishes a Transport Mobility Review Board, which is tasked with preparing recommendations for a tariff schedule consistent with the parameters of the Act, including the amount of fees and any credits, discounts and/or exemptions. These recommendations were published on November 30, 2023. On December 6, 2023, the Triborough Bridge and Tunnel Authority Board of Directors voted to implement the administrative process necessary to develop and approve the toll rate schedule.

Accordingly, the public comment period is now open and a hybrid public hearing will be held to allow the TVTA Authority to receive feedback on the proposed fare schedule. The public comment period began on December 27, 2023 and will continue until March 11, 2024. The proposed travel tariff scheme can be found on the website: https://new.mta.info/document/129191 . Below is a summary of the proposal:

■ Passenger vehicles and passenger vehicles with commercial license plates will be charged an E-ZPass entry fee into the CBD of $15 during peak periods, no more than once per day.

■ Trucks will be charged $24 or $36 during peak periods to enter the CBD via E-ZPass, depending on their size.

■ Buses providing transit or commuter services will be exempt from fares. Other buses will be charged an E-ZPass entry fee of $24 or $36 during peak periods, depending on their type.

■ Motorcycles will be charged half the corresponding passenger car toll, up to a maximum of once per day.

■ Tolls will only be charged to vehicles when entering the CBD, not while they remain in or leave the zone.

■ Peak period tolls will be charged at the busiest times of the day - from 5:00 to 21:00 on weekdays and from 9:00 to 21:00 on weekends. At night, fares will be 75% lower.

■ A tunnel credit toward the peak toll portion of the CBD will be provided to vehicles with E-ZPass entering the four toll gates that lead directly into the CBD: the Queens-Midtown, Hugh L. Carey, Holland and Lincoln tunnels. At night, when fares for travel in the Central District are already 75% lower than during the peak period, travel credits will not apply.

■ New York Taxi and Limousine Commission (TLC) taxis, green taxis and for-hire vehicles (FHVs) will be exempt from the system's daily vehicle fare. Instead, a per-trip fee will be added to each passenger fare paid for travel to, from, or within the CBD at a rate of $1.25 per trip for taxis, green taxis and FHVs, and $2.50 per trip for FHVs for trips carried out by the high-volume for-hire service (abbr. HVFHS).

■ Specialized government vehicles will be exempt from tolls on the CBD (in addition to certain emergency response vehicles and certified vehicles transporting persons with disabilities as provided by the Act).

■ Low-income vehicle owners who qualify and enroll in TVTA's Low Income Discount Plan will receive an E-ZPass peak-period toll discount that is 50% lower than the E-peak toll rate. -ZPass for passenger cars, on the 11th trip in your vehicle and subsequent trips within a calendar month.

■ Generally, CBD toll rates for vehicles using payment methods other than E-ZPass, commonly referred to as Tolls by Mail, will be 50% higher than for E-ZPass customers.

Help of the magician New York

Sometimes there comes a time when the usual methods no longer work. A loved one becomes a stranger, relationships crumble or die out, luck fades, and anxiety and fatigue accumulate within. Talking, waiting, and trying to change things yield no results. In such situations, it is important to understand why exactly this is happening. Often, the cause is hidden deeper than it seems: accumulated negativity, energetic influence, or internal imbalance can subtly affect life and hinder progress. People seek help when: - A loved one has left or has cooled towards the relationship. - The same problems constantly recur in their personal life. - A feeling of loneliness, anxiety, and uncertainty appears. - Financial and life opportunities seem to pass them by. - They want to understand what lies ahead and what the right decision will be. What kind of help is provided: - Work with the love sphere - restoring relationships, returning a loved one, harmonizing feelings. - Energy cleansing - removing the evil eye, damage, and other people's negative influence, restoring balance. Fortune telling and situational analysis – Tarot card readings, analysis of the past and possible future events. Support during difficult times – when you lack strength and confidence. Attracting good luck – working with money and life flows. Each situation is considered individually, without cookie-cutter solutions or empty promises. The main goal is to find the cause of what is happening and help change the situation for the better. Help is available in person and remotely. Complete confidentiality. If life has entered a difficult period and it seems like everything is going in circles, sometimes it is a timely request for support that helps put everything in its place.

A review of a powerful clairvoyant grandmother. She really helped.

We had constant conflicts in our family: I'd lose my temper, my husband would, and the kids would be capricious for no reason. I felt like something was weighing on us, like a lot of negativity had built up in the house. I'd like to recommend Elizaveta Andreyevna, because after her help, the house felt brighter. She works very delicately, without unnecessary words, but I felt the results immediately—communication became easier, we started laughing more, yelling less, and that heavy energy disappeared. It felt like the house had finally become a home, not a place where people only argue. Contact: +380661542367.
 

My husband wanted to leave me for another woman – Lilia saved our marriage.

When my husband fell in love with another woman, I was shocked. My heart was breaking. I begged, fought, got angry... Nothing helped. He said he loved her. I don't know what would have happened if it weren't for Lilya. She helped me not only regain his attention, but also regain my own. Through spiritual work, cleansing, and Lilya's support, my husband returned home. Not out of guilt, but consciously. Now we are a couple on new terms, with respect. Lilya doesn't do magic for revenge—she works with souls. This is rare. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
