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.

Sasha and I were together for almost 4 years. Young, in love, making plans. He proposed to me. I was already looking at a wedding dress. And then everything changed dramatically. He started getting angry over little things, getting irritated, leaving in the evenings. I felt like I was losing him, but I couldn’t do anything. At some point, he just said: “I’m sorry, I don’t want to be with you anymore. This is not it.” I fell to my knees. Begged him to stay. He turned away. And left. The worst thing is silence. When you cry into your pillow, and he doesn’t even text. When your phone is silent for days. When you look out the window, hoping that he will appear - but no. Only darkness. I found Lilia by chance, through Instagram. I don’t know why, but I felt: she is my last hope. She immediately said: “Your happiness was stolen from you. But it is yours by fate. If you believe, we will return it.” And so it began. Prayers, working at night, protection, rituals. It was hard. But on the 10th day he wrote: "Forgive me. I don't know what came over me. I'm confused. I need you." A week later he came with flowers. He stood on the threshold, with eyes full of tears. Now we are together again. It's like he has become different. Gentle, caring, afraid of losing me. Lily, you changed my life. You pulled me out of hell. You brought back my happiness. Thank you for every prayer.

Lily is my savior and sorceress who brought back my lost love!
I didn't believe in magic. I used to think such things were just fiction and delusions. But when I found myself on the brink of despair and lost the man of my dreams, I had no choice. He left. Just left, leaving me with a broken heart and the feeling that my whole life had lost its meaning. I tried to fight, to fix everything I could, but nothing worked. And at some point, I just gave up. Then I found out about Lilia. At first, I even doubted it, but a gut feeling told me this was my last chance. I decided to give it a try, and it was the right decision. When I first talked to Lilia, I felt such incredible warmth and support that even the tears weren't from pain, but from the fact that I was finally understood. She immediately "saw" the whole situation. Not only what was happening with my man, but also my own mistakes, my fears, my doubts. She accurately identified the blocks that were preventing him and me from being happy, and offered not just a path to restoring our relationship, but a transformation of me as a person. Lilia didn't promise miracles. She said I needed to work on myself. But her words were so confident and warm that I believed anything was possible. She set me on a path of self-discovery, taught me to let go of the past, overcome my fears, and become more self-assured. And a month later, when I had almost forgotten how painful it had been, he came. The very man I once thought lost forever returned to my life. He said, "You've changed. You've become different, and I want to be with you too." These were the most important words in my life, and I know that without Lilia, this would not have happened. I am forever grateful to her for what she did for me. She gave me back not only a man, but also my own strength. I once again felt worthy of happiness, and that love isn't magic, but a force that lies within us. Lilia is more than just a clairvoyant. She is a woman with a deep understanding of life and a huge heart. I recommend her to anyone who has lost hope. She will restore not only your love, but also your faith in yourself. Thank you, Lilia, for being there, for your support, and for your miracle! Her contact information is: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
She saved me when I was on the edge. Lily gave me back my man, my love, my life.
I'm writing this review with tears in my eyes, because I still can't believe it all really happened. When he left, the ground fell out from under my feet. We were together for almost three years. He was everything to me: love, friend, support. But one day, he simply fell silent, distanced himself, became a stranger. And then – disappeared. Without explanation, without goodbyes. My soul screamed in pain, I didn't eat, didn't sleep, didn't live. No one could help. Not my friends, not a psychologist, not my prayers into my pillow at night. I accidentally saw Lilia online. The reviews, like mine now, seemed too magical to be true. But then, I was ready for anything. I wrote to her. And that's where my return to life began. From the first minutes of talking with Lilia, I felt that she knew. Not just guessed – it was as if she was experiencing my pain with me. She told me about the situation as if she had been there herself. She saw that he was being negatively influenced, and that his feelings hadn't disappeared—they were just blocked. Lilia performed a deep energy cleansing and said she would work with me and his energy field. I'll be honest: I was afraid, I doubted, I even thought about giving up. But I continued to follow her instructions. And 12 days later, he wrote. At first, he was reserved. Then he admitted that all this time he had felt something pulling him back. That I was constantly in his thoughts. And a week later, he was standing at my door. With the words: "You couldn't get out of my head. I'm sorry. I want everything back." I sobbed. I hugged him and couldn't believe it wasn't a dream. If it weren't for Lilia, this miracle wouldn't have happened. I know for sure: her gift is real. Her energy, her strength, her words—they are real. She didn't just help me bring back my loved one; she pulled me out of the abyss in which I was perishing. Now we're back together. We're closer than we were before the breakup. He's different. I'm different. Stronger. More confident. More grateful. If you're in pain right now, like I was, don't stay silent, contact Lilia. Her help isn't just rituals. It's light, warmth, and power that truly change lives. Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433 (regular call).
I want to share my experience with clairvoyant Rufina. I read a lot of good things about her on forums, so I decided to contact her. I didn't regret it! The Viber reading was so accurate that I was shocked. She not only predicted important events but also immediately gave recommendations on how to improve my current situation. I was especially impressed by her approach to rituals. Rufina conducts them with great soul and faith. She truly visits sacred places, and it's clear that she performs each ritual with love and respect for her work. My problems began to disappear, and I felt my life improving. From now on, I will always turn only to Rufina when I need help. I recommend her to anyone looking for real support and help in difficult situations! Here is her number: +380686790785 WhatsApp/Viber
I'm a backend developer. My life was all about structure, algorithms, and clear cause-and-effect relationships. And then, a year and a half ago, this algorithm failed. At work, I was in a stupor, projects were burning out, even though the code was perfect. At home, it was cold, there were arguments out of nowhere, and the apartment felt like it smelled of mold, even though it was clean. On the outside, I was a successful IT specialist, but on the inside, I was a wreck. I tried therapy, a change of routine, and exercise—nothing. It was as if an invisible barrier was holding me back. Then, in the smoking room, a casual acquaintance I'd only seen once in my life suddenly started telling me how Zakhar had gotten his wife back. Naturally, I chuckled to myself, but his eyes… They sparkled with such sincerity that I decided: I have nothing to lose but time and need to get his contact information. I messaged Zakhar on WhatsApp at +380954248510 and asked for a consultation. For me, it was an experiment. But Zakhar impressed me so much with his abilities! He's truly a clairvoyant, able to see a person's life as if he'd lived it himself. Right down to the details. I didn't even have to tell him anything—Zakhar saw my problems himself, explained their origins, and offered options. I asked Zakhar for help. The work lasted several weeks. But during the process, for the first time in a long time, I felt lighter. It was as if a virus had been draining my system of resources. What next? A month later, I was promoted and given a dream project, one I'd once nipped in the bud. Home? I woke up one day and felt as if I loved my wife as much as I had the first year. All the arguments disappeared, replaced by peace and humor. I still don't know how to explain it scientifically. But as a troubleshooting specialist, I can say that Zakhar found and fixed a bug that no other tool could detect. He's a true master of debugging fate. I recommend him to anyone tired of fighting invisible resistance. Recommendation from IT Specialist: Zakhar (Magical Help) Field of expertise: Software development, 12 years of experience. Name: Igor R. I approach life and work purely rationally. Therefore, when a period of inexplicable setbacks began in my life—a key deal gone awry, constant conflicts in personal relationships, a sudden deterioration in health—I initially attributed it to stress and burnout. However, no standard methods (vacation, vitamins, medical examinations) produced results. I contacted him after a chance encounter with a man who openly shared how the magician Zakhar had helped him restore his family, bringing his wife back after a seemingly final divorce. With my level of skepticism, this sounded incredible, but I decided to consider it an unconventional, extreme method. Contacting Zakhar and his work: Zakhar didn't promise miracles or use dubious paraphernalia. The diagnosis was precise and concise: the presence of negative energy-informational influence (damage) affecting my career and personal life. The "cleansing" process was gradual and took several weeks. Key results (objective changes): 1. Career: Within two months of completing my work with Zakhar, I not only managed to restore the broken deal but also received a promotion offer with increased responsibility. The feeling of "tilting at windmills" at work completely disappeared. 2. Personal Life: Tension in our relationship that had been lingering for months was resolved within a week. My wife and I were able to return to constructive dialogue and harmony, without any apparent external reasons for such a dramatic positive shift. 3. General Condition: The constant feeling of anxiety and physical heaviness disappeared. I can't explain Zakhar's actions from a scientific perspective, but I can confirm their high effectiveness. For those who, like me, value concrete results, Zakhar is a specialist capable of solving problems inaccessible to standard logical or psychological approaches. Based on my personal experience and that of the friend who recommended me, I offer this recommendation.
