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.

Varya, thank you. You lifted me out of the darkness I was afraid I'd forever belong to. Her number is +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I thought I died the day my husband left. For seven months I existed, but didn't live... an empty house, an empty bed, an empty soul. I cried so much that my voice was gone. I was silent so much that my heart screamed. Everything was crumbling. When I came to the molfarka VARYA, I was broken. I didn't believe in myself, or in love, or in miracles. Varya simply put her hand on mine and said quietly: You will still see the light. I didn't believe it... but I grabbed onto her words like a drowning man grabs the air. And suddenly everything began to change. First inside me. Then around me. And then... after seven long months of silence, he knocked on the door. My husband. He stood there with red eyes and said: Forgive me. I want to go home. I fell on his chest and cried like I'd never cried in my life. This was the return of not just a man, this was the return of my destiny. Varya, thank you. You lifted me out of the darkness to which I was already afraid to belong forever.

I thank Lilia for her help and support. It was a huge step toward bringing love and understanding back into our home.
When I turned to clairvoyant Lilia, my life was in turmoil. My husband and I had drifted apart so far that even normal conversations were difficult. I felt like I was losing what was most precious to me, but I didn't know where to start to fix it. Lilia immediately put me at ease—calm and attentive, she seemed to see what I couldn't understand. Her advice and explanations helped me understand my emotions and what was happening between us. Following her recommendations, a warm energy began to fill our home: it was as if we remembered why we chose each other. Our relationship became softer and calmer. We began discussing important things again, making time for each other, and caring about each other's feelings. The tension that had plagued us for months gradually disappeared. Now I feel much more confident and calm, and harmony reigns in our family once again. I thank Lilia for her help and support. This was a huge step toward bringing love and understanding back into our home. Honestly, I don't even know where to begin... I didn't believe in fortune tellers or clairvoyants for a long time, but I came to Lilia in complete despair. My relationship was completely ruined—my man left me for another woman, and I found out he really had been bewitched by a rival. I was broken, I thought it was the end. Lilia didn't promise "overnight miracles," but she said everything could be fixed. She removed the negativity from him, cleansed us both, set up powerful protection, and most importantly, brought back our feelings. Our relationship was restored right before our eyes, and now we're preparing for the wedding. It's strange to even say, but I'm actually getting married—something I've dreamed of for so many years. This isn't an advertisement, not a request—I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for real help, not just pretty words. She's one of the few who truly sees, knows, and does. Her contact phone number is +380638055486, there is Viber and WhatsApp, and another US number is +19297133433
She didn’t just tell my family, she told me, phone number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
I’ve been thinking for a long time that I could write this... If the man went to bed, simply closing the doors behind him and depriving me and my three small children, I stopped sleeping. The house became empty, and everything seemed important again. I didn’t eat, I didn’t sleep, I marveled at my children and didn’t understand how to live in the future. When I came to Varya’s molfarka, I wasn’t human... for a moment. I sat in front of her, unable to speak the desired word. My breasts were squeezed so hard that I felt like I was dying. And it seemed to me that no one in the world would be able to understand everything about me. Ale Varya did not need to explain anything. She marveled at me and appreciated everything I had experienced. She herself began to talk about those that lie in my soul, about my fears, images, about the empty space that sat in the middle. I heard her and cried like I had never cried in my life. Varya performed her rituals, but most of all she gave me what no one could give: see that I am not evil, that you can still fight for your life, for your family, for myself. And then things happened that I never dared to believe... The man began to write. Then come. Crying, saying that I had received a terrible mercy, that nothing had hit me and I was tired of doing everything differently. When I turned back home, when the children hugged him again, I stood there and couldn’t believe that this was true. I don’t know what It helped... the rituals, the words, the energy and the light that she turns to people. But I know one thing for sure: if it weren’t for Varya, I wouldn’t have gotten out of that hole. She didn’t just tell my family, she told me, phone number +380632574828 (Viber / WhatsApp / Telegram)
