De Blasio wants Manhattan congestion fee ‘as fast as humanly possible’

New York City needs Manhattan congestion fees to start “as fast as humanly possible,” Mayor Bill de Blasio declared Tuesday — even as the MTA has yet to provide a timeline for the long-planned, long-delayed toll program.

“I want to see congestion pricing start as quickly as possible,” Hizzoner told reporters during his daily press briefing. “I want it to be as fast as humanly possible.” Tolls on auto travel in the Manhattan “Central Business District” below 60th Street were scheduled to launch at the start of this year, after being passed by the state in 2019.
