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.

CLAIRVOYANT LILY +19297133433

When the soul finds no peace, when the heart is gripped by anxiety and pain, it's a sign that you need to seek answers. Clairvoyant Lilia helps where reason is powerless and where hope fades with each passing day. Through Tarot cards and the energy of photography, I see the truth that cannot be hidden. Even an old photograph bears the imprint of fate—from it, I can tell what's happening to a person, whether they're alive, whether they love you, whether they remember you, what they're feeling, and what intentions they're hiding. I sense lies, betrayal, estrangement, rivalry, deception—and I can reveal the truth to you, no matter how difficult it may be. If there's a wall of silence between you, if you feel your strength ebbing and your life losing meaning, I will help restore harmony. I will determine whether there is a curse, hex, love spell, or hex, who cast it, and when, and I will cleanse you—removing negativity, restoring energy, aligning your chakras, and providing powerful protection. After the ritual, you'll feel lightness, calm, and a desire to live and believe again. Tarot cards don't lie—they'll show you what lies ahead: whether love is worth fighting for, whether to trust someone, what your path will be, and where the twist of fate is that could change everything. I don't promise miracles—I help create them, because I'm born with power, and through it, I bring light, hope, and love back to people. Clairvoyant Lily. Tarot reading. Photo diagnostics. Negativity removal. I'll help you regain what seemed lost forever. Contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433

When everything went wrong, clairvoyant Daria helped +16463779379

I am not writing for advertising, but because I was looking for reviews myself at the time. I was going through a very difficult period - I was fired from my job, I had money problems, and my relationship was falling apart. It was as if everything was falling apart. My sister said that maybe I was under negative energy or the evil eye. I didn't really believe it, but it was so bad that I decided to try. I found Daria, a clairvoyant and tarot reader. I wrote to her on Viber: +380996826298. She responded immediately and explained everything calmly. She did a diagnostic and said that I really was under negative energy. She did a cleansing and then helped me with my money channel. I didn't even expect it, but a couple of weeks later I was offered a new job, and it was better than the previous one. My mood and sleep improved. Daria doesn't "scare" you like many others, she doesn't push "urgent rituals", everything is honest. If it weren't for her, I don't know how I would have coped further. Her number: +16463779379 and Viber I wrote above. Thank her very much!
