Expressing opposition to Central Business District Tolling Program of New York City.

House Resolution 609 expresses formal congressional opposition to New York City’s Central Business District Tolling Program, commonly known as congestion pricing. The resolution calls on the federal government and New York State to halt the program’s implementation and recommends that a comprehensive economic impact study be conducted. If the program proceeds, drivers entering Manhattan south of 60th Street would be required to pay a daily toll, a move intended to reduce traffic and fund public transit that critics argue creates an undue financial burden on commuters and local businesses.
