There are "high" scenarios where most of the pre-paid tolls would be credited, there are "low" scenarios where some of the pre-paid tolls are credited, and there are scenarios where there are no credits at all. In one of the scenarios studied, those two tunnels and drivers crossing the Hudson River using the George Washington Bridge would receive a credit.īut none of the scenarios laid out in the report would fully credit drivers using Hudson River crossings for tolls paid before reaching the CBD. In three of the seven scenarios, drivers coming from New Jersey via the Lincoln and Holland tunnels, which directly enter the CBD, would receive a credit for tolls already paid to use that crossing. These potential tolls would be in addition to tolls paid at other crossings used to reach midtown Manhattan, like the Lincoln Tunnel, Holland Tunnel and George Washington Bridge, whose tolls currently range from $11.75 to $16 for cars. The new tolls to enter the Central Business District (CBD) of Manhattan, the area below 60th Street, could range from $9 to $23 during peak hours, $7 to $17 during off-peak hours, or $5 to $12 overnight, according to models used by the report's authors to study the tolling program. The study also looked at what would happen if the agency does not go forward with congestion pricing. The MTA released an in-depth study Wednesday of what the traffic, pollution and tolling outcomes could be in seven different scenarios with varying credit options for tolls already paid at crossings and exemptions of certain types of vehicles, like buses. Steep, new tolls could be on the horizon for New Jersey drivers as the Metropolitan Transportation Authority moves toward a congestion pricing program that would charge drivers to enter midtown Manhattan.
