Expressing opposition to Central Business District Tolling Program of New York City.
Summary
This is a non-binding resolution that expresses opposition to New York City's Central Business District Tolling Program, commonly known as congestion pricing. The resolution does not have the force of law and would not directly stop the program if passed. Instead, it would serve as a statement of congressional disapproval.
If enacted, the resolution would recommend that New York State conduct an economic impact report on the tolling program and that relevant federal agencies and New York halt its implementation. The tolling program charges drivers a fee to enter Manhattan's central business district. The resolution is currently under committee consideration and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
As a non-binding resolution, passage would express congressional sentiment but would not legally prevent the tolling program from moving forward. Any actual halt to the program would require separate legislative action or decisions by New York State and city officials.
