The Metropolitan Transportation Authority approved a revised congestion pricing plan for Manhattan that President-elect Donald Trump has threatened to terminate once he takes office.
大都會交通管理局批准了經修訂的曼哈頓擁堵定價計劃，當選總統唐納德·特朗普威脅說，他上任後將終止該計劃。
The board of the MTA, which runs the city's transit system and is implementing the new toll, voted Monday to begin the program. It will charge E-ZPass motorists entering south of Manhattan's 60th Street $9 during peak hours, which is from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, with E-ZPass trucks paying $14.40 during those hours. Vehicles without an E-ZPass would pay more.
管理該市交通系統並正在實施新的通行費的MTA董事會週一投票決定啓動該計劃。在高峰時段，即工作日上午9點至晚上9點，它將向進入曼哈頓第60街以南的E-ZPass駕車者收取9美元的費用，而E-ZPass卡車則在這些時段支付14.40美元。沒有E-ZPass的車輛將支付更多費用。
Drivers already paying tolls on the Lincoln, Holland, Queens-Midtown or Brooklyn-Battery tunnels will receive discounts during peak times to help lower the new fee. Fares will also be significantly cheaper when driving overnight with E-ZPass passenger cars paying $2.25 and trucks paying $3.60. Under the new plan, taxi passengers would pay $0.75 per trip, while customers riding in a for-hire vehicle such as Uber and Lyft would pay $1.50.
已經在林肯、荷蘭、皇后區-中城或布魯克林-巴特利隧道上支付通行費的司機將在高峰時段獲得折扣，以幫助降低新的費用。通宵行駛時，票價也將便宜得多，E-ZPass乘用車支付2.25美元，卡車支付3.60美元。根據新計劃，出租車乘客每次旅行將支付0.75美元，而乘坐Uber和Lyft等出租車輛的乘客將支付1.50美元。
