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.

I recommend that you contact the magician Oleksandr if necessary.

I'll write briefly. I recommend that you contact the magician Oleksandr if necessary. Yogo number +380971792179. I was tired of it. It spun around to the top, apparently, molfariv... But such a strong practice as Oleksandr never caught on. The wine doesn’t feed anything. Learn and understand the power of being brutalized. Oleksandr helped me in my situation and will help you too
 

MOLFAR ANDRIY +380932169225

Molfar Andriy took over my homeland. After ten years of love, the man left the house and filed for separation. Once upon a time, two healthy children lived well and happily. And here it’s like this... It’s become a mess. It's Saturday evening. The day before, the man became movable and aloof, and then changed his personalities at the initial meeting, saying that he wanted to put an end to the past and began to walk away from us. Having picked up our quick words and told them without telling us where we were going. Then he went through a lawyer and became completely a stranger. The process of separation was more difficult than usual. During this hour, the man began to live differently and avoided children. I have experienced so much pain that now I am amazed that I did not endure and did not lose my health. She's lost a lot of weight and has become darker. Life was practically ruined, and I lost myself with two children and did not understand what happened next. Already a few months after the separation, I realized that I definitely can’t live without a man. I can’t forget him and let him go from my soul. So, since I’ve put information about Andriy’s molfar on my contacts, I haven’t talked about it for a long time and I wrote a WhatsApp message to the number +380932169225 and I asked about a consultation. I was immediately struck by the fact that Andriy had grown up and fed me nothing. As I spoke, my heart sank. Andriy revealed everything in detail. Enemy gift. Alas, let’s explain how everything can be brought into order. I asked him without any help to carry out daily work. Less than three years ago, my man with repentance was at home. My dear and dear man. For the longest time I couldn’t believe my happiness because everything was lost behind me. And now it seems that something was different from us. I will forever be grateful to Molfar Andriy for those who took away our homeland with his man. Skoda immediately talked about those who immediately began to ask for help and didn’t know Andriya’s contacts, and that’s how it all began. Raju don’t suffer, don’t worry, don’t waste an hour, but immediately get to Andriy because you’re in trouble.
 

Restoring the family.

I hesitated for a long time to write this review... Every time I recall what was happening in our family before meeting Varya, the molfarka, my heart aches with pain. My husband and I were together for almost 12 years, and our love once seemed unbreakable. But over the years, everything began to crumble—fights, misunderstandings, coldness. He began to distance himself, and silence and resentment reigned in the house. I felt love fading, as if someone was sucking the life out of us. Out of desperation, I turned to Varya; a friend who had miraculously brought her husband back after he cheated on me told me about her. I didn't really believe it, but a last spark of hope burned within me. Varya listened to me with such attention, as if she understood the pain in my heart. She said, "Your family has a light; it just needs to be rekindled." After her work, strange but bright changes began. My husband suddenly asked to talk. We sat in the kitchen until morning, crying, remembering how we once vowed to be together no matter what. It was as if someone had lifted a heavy blanket from us. Laughter echoed in the house again, and that warm look I hadn't seen in years appeared in my husband's eyes. I don't know how Varya does it—with prayers, herbs, or some ancient power—but I know one thing for sure: she brought love back to our home. She brought back what I thought was lost forever. Varya isn't just a molfarka. She's a savior of broken hearts. Thank her for giving our family a second chance. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
 

CLAIRVOYANT IN UKRAINE

I never thought I'd be in this state. When my loved one left, it was like I was cut off from life. I'd wake up with a lump in my throat. I'd lie down and the silence would be so oppressive I wanted to scream. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, I just lived on autopilot. The world turned gray, as if someone had taken all the warmth from it. And then, in this state, I accidentally came across a review about a woman who helps people get out of such pits. I read and cried. And I decided to write to her, although one thing was in my head... Why? It's all over already... She asked for a photo and literally from the first words said something that sent a chill down my spine. Such things are not made up, not guessed. I sat with my phone in my hands and simply couldn't believe that someone truly heard me. I asked her for help, because inside me there was only fear and a broken heart. She said that I was not alone. And that there was a chance. And... something happened that I no longer expected. After a while, he wrote himself. He called himself. His voice was shaking... mine too. And when he stood at the door of my house, I didn’t believe that this was all not a dream. It was like coming back to life. As if I was pulled by the hand from the depths where I had already stopped fighting. I don’t know how to explain everything that happened. But I know for sure: this man became my salvation at that moment, when the world around me collapsed, and I had no more strength. I recommend a phone number for contact (+380638055486, there is Viber and WhatsApp, also another US number +19297133433
 

Zakhar saved our family, even though it seemed like everything was completely lost. I will always be grateful to him. Don't miss your chance to save your happiness!

My husband and I had been married for fifteen years and had three children when he left home and filed for divorce. There was no sign of trouble. We were living a quiet life, but one day he came home with a glazed expression, packed his things, and left. He completely refused to communicate with anyone – only through a lawyer. And so it went on for a year. What didn't I try during that time to save our family? Everything was useless. My husband was living with another woman, and the divorce proceedings were nearing completion. I no longer believed that anything could be changed. But when I found the number of the magician Zakhar, a glimmer of hope appeared in my soul. People were talking so much about him, that he literally works miracles, and my heart seemed to tell me, "What if?" I messaged Zakhar on Viber at +380954248510 and asked him to look into my situation. Zakhar didn't ask anything, but saw everything for himself. I just listened, and goosebumps ran down my spine as he explained everything in detail. I immediately begged for help, because I knew someone with such abilities could do it. It was something special. Zakhar was able to completely change everything in just a few days. My husband, in tears of remorse, was home just a couple of weeks later. Zakhar saved our family, even though it seemed like everything was completely lost. I will always be grateful to him. Don't miss your chance to save your happiness!
