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.

A wonderful person with a huge soul!

Lilia is a lifesaver! After her help, my husband came back, and we are back together and happy. She's a wonderful person with a huge soul! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (USA)
 

Want to get your loved one back? An online love spell will gently restore harmony in your relationship.

Honestly, I went to Lilya in complete despair. My husband had left me for another woman, the children were suffering, and I didn't know what to do. A friend insisted, saying, "Try it; she sees right through everything." And so it turned out. Lilya immediately explained the reason and even named the woman he'd left me for! After she started working, everything started to change: my husband started texting, showing interest in the children, and then he asked to talk. Now we live together, as if we'd been given a second chance. I'm incredibly grateful! I'm giving her contact information: +380638055486 (WhatsApp, Viber). +19297133433
 

PSYCHIC ALEXANDER +380971792179 via WhatsApp

I lived as a mistress for almost four years. He kept finding explanations why the divorce papers with his wife had not yet been filed. At the same time, he convinced me that he wanted us to be together, although he did not show up at my place often. But, to his credit, he provided for me financially and I did not even have to hint that I needed anything - he closed all the issues completely. For me, this was relatively honest. Although over time I thought about getting someone else for more regular meetings "for health". Therefore, everything would have continued like this if at one time he had not had an obsessive desire to cum inside me without warning. After several such cases, pregnancy did not occur and we continued. We began to see each other more often, but I did not take contraceptives, since many of my friends could not achieve results for years even with a great desire. This relaxed me. And now, after half a year of such "pourings", a "surprise" occurred. He sent me to the USA to give birth to ensure citizenship for the child, but he never got around to divorcing his wife. Only sworn promises that neither I nor the child would need anything. When I returned with my son, we began to see each other no more than once a month. He kept his word regarding financial support, but he did not devote any time to the child or me at all. On the contrary, our meetings only became less frequent and shorter. I did not put up with this. And now I think that this should have been done much earlier. I turned to the magician Alexander for help. I made an appointment at +380971792179 via WhatsApp. For Alexander, my whole life was in full view. Therefore, I did not even have to tell anything or explain much. We agreed that Alexander would work to ensure that my beloved and I would become closer. And I got an excellent result! In the process, my beloved began to be drawn to me and my son like a magnet, and by the end of the month we were living together. He took on the divorce with his wife decisively, and then did not delay our wedding. Now our son is already a schoolboy, and my husband and I live in harmony and mutual understanding. So Alexander helped us get together and build a happy family. I advise everyone not to let things slide and not to be satisfied with little. Ask Alexander for help and take your destiny into your own hands, so as not to waste years of your life in vain.
 

Thank you, Lilia!

When my husband left, I was devastated. He said he didn't love me, that he had another woman. I turned to Lilya with almost no faith... but she instilled strength in me and gave me concrete steps. Not magic, but wisdom! After a month and a half, he started calling himself, and then came for a serious conversation. Now we're back together, and most importantly, we're learning to trust each other again. Thank you, Lilya! Here are her contacts: +380638055486 (her WhatsApp, Viber) +19297133433 (regular call)
