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 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.

How a clairvoyant helped bring back love and restore relationships
When my relationship with my partner became very strained, I didn't know what to do. I consulted a clairvoyant, and she immediately saw that our relationship wasn't just plagued by problems, but also by negativity that was preventing us from being together. She helped me get rid of this negativity, performed a cleansing ritual, and literally within a few days, we began communicating like before. Everything improved, and I felt harmony in our relationship again. I am so grateful for her help and support! Contact for an appointment: +16463779379
One day, a casual acquaintance mentioned knowing a powerful clairvoyant magician named Alexander, who could see the root of problems and possessed many other extraordinary abilities, helping where others couldn't. He claimed this magician had removed a curse from him, and his life had improved in a very short time. I didn't pay it much attention, but I wrote down his contact information just in case. Luckily. Just a couple of years later, I turned to Alexander with my own problem. My wife had left me and filed for divorce. I didn't understand why or what to do. It was incredibly painful. For several months, I searched for different ways to make peace with her, but nothing worked. So, I decided to message Alexander on WhatsApp at +380971792179 and asked for a consultation. I was very impressed that I didn't even have to tell him anything – Alexander saw my problem himself and explained in detail what had happened and why. And most importantly, he explained what could be done about it. I immediately asked him to help me get my wife back. Alexander agreed. Even more surprisingly, it took him no more than three weeks – the results were delivered ahead of schedule. So if you have any problems, don't hesitate to contact Alexander. I'm confident he can help even in the most challenging situations.
Thank you, Lilia, for your warmth, tact, strength, and light. You didn't just give me back my man; you helped me restore love and faith in life.
Lilia was the person who gave me hope during my darkest hour. I was on the brink—pain, tears, loss, sleepless nights… But she simply listened, understood, and helped me restore not only my relationship, but also myself. With her by my side, I felt like I wasn't alone. She helped me become stronger, taught me to hear and feel—not only myself, but also my loved one. Thanks to this, we are together again. I didn't even believe it was possible. Thank you, Lilia, for your warmth, tact, strength, and light. You didn't just give me back a man; you helped me restore love and faith in life. Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
I had previously contacted various fortune tellers, but to no avail. Only Daria really helped. She tells fortunes very well — without unnecessary questions, everything is clear and to the point. She said that my energy was blocked in my personal life, and explained why everything was falling apart. I was worried about my ex, I couldn’t forget and didn’t understand why he left. Daria said that he was “taken away” and performed a ritual to return. After some time, he wrote to me himself, started looking for meetings, admitted that he missed me. I honestly didn’t expect it. Daria also removed the negativity from me — it became easier to breathe, my sleep improved, the heaviness in my head went away. Before her, I always felt bad, as if I had no strength. She is simple, without show-offs, explains everything in understandable language. No intimidation or divorce. She works on WhatsApp — +1 (646) 377-9379. She responds quickly, is supportive, even just talking to her is nice. Thank you very much, Daria! You really helped me. I recommend you to everyone who is at a dead end and does not know where to go.
Lilya is a person who entered our lives at the most difficult moment.
Thanks to Lilia, our marriage has experienced a rebirth. Her patience and genuine care have opened my husband's heart anew. She is a true heroine of our family, and her story is proof that love can work miracles. Her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber), +19297133433
