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.

Lily turned out to be an incredibly sensitive person.
I was skeptical about all such specialists, but the situation in my family was so difficult that I decided to give it a try. Lilia turned out to be an incredibly empathetic person. She accurately described what was happening between us and gave advice that really worked. Within a month, I saw real changes: fewer conflicts, more conversation and respect. We began to restore our relationship step by step. Thank her for her help and understanding. I'm writing her number (380638055486, Viber, WhatsApp). +19297133433
When I came to Lilya, I was completely broken. My husband had left home almost a month ago, and I had already stopped believing that anything could change. Lilya didn't judge or pressure me—she simply listened to me so attentively that for the first time in a long time, I stopped crying. She said that everything could still be fixed if I could regain peace in my heart. A few days after our conversation, my husband himself wrote to me and asked to meet. We talked until the morning, and he admitted that all this time he had felt a strange desire to come back, "as if someone had helped him see everything differently." Now we are back together, learning to cherish each other. Lilya gave me hope—and I feel alive again. Her phone number is +380638055486, she has Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433.
I still can't hold back my tears when I recall the day I turned to Varya, a molfarka. My family was crumbling before my eyes: my husband had left me for another woman, there were constant arguments at home, and despair and emptiness filled my soul. It seemed there was no hope left. But Varya saw everything for herself, and without asking any questions, she explained my situation as if she'd known us all her life. She pointed out the causes of our problems, spoke about the negativity that surrounded our family, and offered to help. After her work, I felt an incredible relief. It was as if a heavy burden had lifted from my shoulders. Peace, warmth, and harmony returned to the house. The most amazing thing happened later: just seven days later, my husband returned home on his own, having finally ended his relationship with his mistress. He became a different person—attentive, caring, and sincere. I am infinitely grateful to Varya for her help, support, and wisdom. She gave me back not only my husband, but also my faith in happiness, love, and a family future. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone who finds themselves in a difficult life situation and has lost hope. Thank you, Varya, for a true miracle! Tel. +380632574828 Viber/WhatsApp
Huge thanks to the fortune teller and healer Lilia!!!!
A huge thank you to the fortune teller and healer Lilia!!!! She has the gift of clairvoyance and helps with love affairs. My mother went to her and she saved her from a curse, so I decided to turn to her too, and it was a good decision. Firstly, she sees the past, the present, and your problem (my mother and I didn't say anything to her; she told us all the details herself). Secondly, she cleanses people and removes negativity. And she helped me overcome loneliness and brought my husband back to the family. I recommend her a hundred times over and will continue to recommend her to everyone. I will leave her contact information: +380 93 266 5520 (WhatsApp) +1 (929) 713-3433 - Lilia (USA)
