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).

Feedback on relationship fortune telling – everything came true

I was looking for someone who could accurately read relationships and ended up with a very powerful clairvoyant. I'll admit right away—I was skeptical about everything, but the way she described my situation completely knocked me off my feet. No generalities. She described my partner's personality, his behavior, and the problems between us. Then she told me what would happen in a month, and that's exactly what happened. We actually met, as she said, and he admitted he wanted to get everything back together. She treated me calmly, without intimidation, and explained everything. She also does cleansings, works with energy, and helps people recover from difficult situations. Contact: +1 646 377 9379
 

I recommend Evdokia, I'll leave her number 380933891982 telegram. You should feel whether the specialist will help or not.

I want to share my story with you, I see how everyone writes here and how hard it is for everyone. I understand you girls, I went through a period in my life when I was broken, this is really my story. I am a grown woman, I lived with my husband for 18 years, got on our feet together, built a house, opened a business, we started everything from scratch together. We achieved good results in our fields, a good education, we had a loving relationship. We were not only husband and wife, but also friends for life. Everything in my life began to change, my husband suddenly became cold, aggressive, did not listen to me at all, and only negativity emanated from him. I did not understand what was happening, talking to him led nowhere. Just one day he told me, we are getting a divorce, I am leaving for another and that’s it! To say that I was shocked is to say nothing, having known him for many years. Everything we had had to be divided, everything I had invested my best years in, he had to give her to this woman, half of our business. Many tears, visits to psychologists, nothing helped, we divorced, it was a long and unpleasant process. Understanding and watching how he took her across the seas at my expense. It was hell for me. But until I decided to turn to a fortune teller, I spent a very long time looking for a worthy specialist. On my way, I met Evdokia! We spoke on the phone, I called on Telegram, well, I had no other contacts. What I liked was that I didn’t ask a single question right away, I just sent a photo and that’s it. She herself began to tell me everything, I just kept silent and listened. I was very pleasantly surprised, she spoke for 10 minutes and I listened. And I understood that she saw my life and my soul completely. In the end, I simply said, "I urgently need your help." She said, "Do what I tell you and everything will be fine." She told me he was taken from his family for money. I realized that I wanted to fight for my family. I felt that she would help me! The point of writing this story is that you shouldn't give up. We build our own happiness. Don't stop looking for someone who can help you. I recommend Evdokia, I'll leave her number: 380933891982. Telegram. You should feel whether a specialist will help you or not.
 

Review of a clairvoyant

I hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to contact her. Honestly, I don't regret it. She explained my situation in detail and described a person I hadn't even mentioned. She gave me advice on how to proceed, and it really helped. After the consultation, I felt better and more confident about the future.

Clairvoyant Lily +1 (929) 713-3433

Before Lily, there was irritation, coldness, and arguments out of the blue in our home. We were both tired, but didn't know how to get out of it. At first, we didn't believe that someone from the outside could really help. But after the first meeting, we felt relief. It was like turning on the light in a dark room. Lily removed what was dragging us down - old grievances, misunderstandings, scraps of other people's attitudes. Now it's as if we are building a relationship anew - on a clean slate. And this is her great merit. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
