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.

Thank you, Lilia, for saving my family and for the faith that you restored to me!
Infidelity was like a knife in the back. I was broken. At first, I didn't believe anything could be fixed. But Lilia saw that there was still a true connection between my husband and me, one that hadn't died. She helped me not only understand why everything happened but also taught me how to rebuild trust. Thanks to her support and energy work, we got through this crisis. Now I see how my husband is trying, how we are getting closer again. Thank you, Lilia, for saving our family and for the faith you restored to me! Her Viber and WhatsApp numbers are (+380638055486) and her regular number is (+19297133433).
Lilia helped not only to get her husband back, but also to save herself
When my husband said he was leaving because he "didn't love me anymore," I collapsed. I didn't eat, I didn't sleep, the children saw me falling apart. I looked for help everywhere. Lilia immediately said: these are not his words. He didn't leave on his own. I didn't believe in such things then, but everything she said matched. She started working: she performed rituals, cleansing, gave me meditations, advice on how to restore my inner state. My husband returned after 3 weeks. He himself said: "It was like I was in a fog all this time." Now we are together again. But the main thing is that Lilia not only brought back my husband, she brought me back. I feel like a strong woman again. Her contacts (+380638055486 - WhatsApp Viaiber; +19297133433 - regular communication)
When everything went wrong, clairvoyant Daria helped +16463779379
I am not writing for advertising, but because I was looking for reviews myself at the time. I was going through a very difficult period - I was fired from my job, I had money problems, and my relationship was falling apart. It was as if everything was falling apart. My sister said that maybe I was under negative energy or the evil eye. I didn't really believe it, but it was so bad that I decided to try. I found Daria, a clairvoyant and tarot reader. I wrote to her on Viber: +380996826298. She responded immediately and explained everything calmly. She did a diagnostic and said that I really was under negative energy. She did a cleansing and then helped me with my money channel. I didn't even expect it, but a couple of weeks later I was offered a new job, and it was better than the previous one. My mood and sleep improved. Daria doesn't "scare" you like many others, she doesn't push "urgent rituals", everything is honest. If it weren't for her, I don't know how I would have coped further. Her number: +16463779379 and Viber I wrote above. Thank her very much!
Fortune telling that changed my life - personal review
Good day to all! I want to leave a review about the woman I contacted about love problems. I was on the verge of despair. She did a Tarot reading, told me everything based on the facts. Then she performed a ritual to restore relations — and the result was not long in coming! It is pleasant to talk to her, everything is to the point, without "water". I highly recommend!

I felt like my heart simply stopped beating from the pain when our relationship collapsed. I lay awake at night, replaying every mistake in my head and not believing I'd ever be able to smile again. That's when I turned to Lilia—and it became my salvation. She carefully gathered my shreds of hope and helped me believe that love can be rekindled with heart and warmth. Step by step, with her support, I found the strength to ask for forgiveness, understand him, and give us a chance. Today, we are close, and I will forever keep in my heart the gratitude to Lilia for pulling me out of the abyss of despair and giving me the chance for a new life next to my beloved.
