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.

How I got my husband back in New York

When I turned to Lilia Pavlovna, I was in complete chaos, both mentally and at home. My husband had left, there were fights at home, and everything was falling apart at work. I no longer knew where to go or who to turn to. But Lilia saw everything herself, without my words, and told me about my life, my past, and the people around me. Everything matched up down to the last detail! She performed her rituals, cleansed me and everything around me. Since then, a lot has changed: my husband has returned, our relationship has improved, and there is peace and warmth at home again. Even my work has improved: I have gained confidence, new opportunities, as if everything had just fallen into place! Lilia Pavlovna is a truly gifted person. She helps sincerely, from the heart, and most importantly, there really is a result. I am writing this review with gratitude and from the bottom of my heart. May she continue to help those who have lost hope. Here are her contacts: +380 93 266 5520 (WhatsApp) +19297133433 (USA)

When love almost died, the clairvoyant Lily brought my beloved back to me

I hesitated for a long time to write this review because I still can't believe this happened to me. My loved one left suddenly—coldly, without explanation, as if nothing had ever happened between us. I was left alone with my pain and the questions "Why?" and "Why?" I turned to clairvoyant Lilia in complete despair. She calmly, without unnecessary words, told me about our situation as if she had known us for many years. She said that he had feelings, but he was confused. A little time passed—and then he showed up himself. At first cautiously, then with confessions and tears. Now we are together again. I am grateful to Lilia for helping me bring back my loved one and saving what seemed already destroyed. I will leave her contact information here for those who have already lost their hope (+380638055486 WhatsApp, Viber) (+19297133433 USA)
 

PSYCHIC IN NEW YORK

It all started when I was just sitting at the manicurist's. It seemed like a routine procedure, but it was there that I heard a story that changed my life. The manicurist told me how she brought her husband back to his family thanks to the magician Alexander. I listened, and with every phrase, my hope grew. I felt like my whole life was a continuous dark streak, especially in my relationships with my family and money. I took the plunge, got his number +380971792179, and messaged him on Viber. Alexander seemed very calm and reasonable. No questions or unnecessary words, everything was to the point. As he spoke, my skin crawled from the details of my life that no one else could know. We discussed specific details. It became clear that I had a curse on me that was ruining my life. I wasn't even surprised, as I intuitively felt something was wrong. Alexander began working, and with each passing week, I saw changes. My husband has become more attentive and caring, my relationship with the children has improved, and I got a promotion at work. It's a miracle! I thank Alexander every day for bringing back my happiness and helping me see the world in bright colors again.
 

MAG ZAKHAR +380954248510

Magician Zakhar saved my family when I had no hope left for my wife's return. We'd been through a lot during our eight years of marriage, but our mutual feelings and commitment to understanding each other had always been our strength as a couple. Until one time. A time that almost became our family's last. It all started when misunderstandings had been building up for two or three months before our separation. There was tension and misunderstandings, but nothing critical. Then, one evening, I saw before me what felt like a stranger, not my beloved, looking at me with empty, cold, and indifferent eyes. She was completely emotionless and simply said she was leaving. She packed her things, called a taxi, and ran up the stairs without waiting for the elevator. As she left, she added that she wouldn't talk to me about anything except divorce. I was left alone in the apartment, surrounded by deafening silence. Then followed agonizing weeks of trying to write, call, and somehow communicate and find common ground. But she wouldn't communicate and only dryly said that everything was finally decided—only divorce. No argument worked. I was literally devastated and didn't know what to do. Feeling powerless, I began looking for unconventional solutions. I decided to turn to magic, to at least understand what had happened and not lose the chance to save my family. That's how I found the magician Zakhar's number +380954248510 and arranged for him to look into my situation and what could be done. I didn't have to tell him anything. Zakhar saw everything himself and described in detail what happened and how. He even described the scene of the breakup. It was as if he was standing there at that moment. He explained the options, and I asked him to help me. The work lasted about a month in total. Zakhar kept me updated on the process and gave me instructions on what would happen literally day by day. How happy I was when my wife called me for the first time, without any reason, and asked how I was doing! Even though it was a short conversation, my hopes soared. And then, one evening, closer to the time I'd agreed upon with Zakhar, what I'd been waiting for happened. Returning home, I saw the light in our apartment and my beloved's shadow on the curtains. She was watering the flowers on the windowsill. My heart literally started pounding, and I couldn't believe my happiness! I instantly flew to the apartment, started opening the door, and my wife met me at the threshold. Her eyes were full of love and warmth, tears and words about how she'd missed me terribly, how she'd thought about me, and how she realized she couldn't give up... It literally lifted me to seventh heaven! For a couple of weeks afterward, my wife and I occasionally discussed certain things to better understand each other and avoid hurting each other in the future. But the main thing was that my beloved was already there. Several years have passed since then, and my wife and I have not lost our understanding. I still communicate with Zakhar periodically and sometimes contact him about business matters.
