FEDERAL JUDGE HEARS ARGUMENTS ON NYC CONGESTION PRICING

Series of Lawsuits Oppose Manhattan Fee Plan

NEW YORK — New York’s first-in-the-nation plan to levy a hefty toll on drivers
entering much of traffic-choked Manhattan is the focus of a legal battle set to
play out in federal court May 17.

A Manhattan judge will hear arguments in a series of lawsuits from unionized
public school teachers, local Republican officials and other New Yorkers seeking
to put the brakes on the plan.

Most drivers in private cars, locals and tourists alike, heading into Manhattan
south of Central Park should expect to pay about $15 during the daytime, with
higher tolls for larger vehicles and lower rates for motorcycles and late-night
entries into the city, according to the proposal finalized in March. Those who
aren’t enrolled in a regional toll collection program will pay $22.50.

The lawsuits argue that the tolling scheme was given the green light by federal
transportation officials without proper scrutiny and that more comprehensive
environmental studies need to be completed.

They claim the fee will lead to more congestion and pollution as drivers take
alternate routes to avoid the Manhattan toll. They contend that low-income and
minority communities already dealing with poor air quality will be particularly
hard-hit by the negative health impacts.

The suits argued drivers from other city boroughs and suburbs that lack adequate
mass transit will take a disproportionate financial hit. Meanwhile, small
businesses in the congestion zone will face higher operating costs and fewer
customers, they say.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the agency overseeing the congestion
fee plan, maintains it conducted extensive environmental reviews.

It says it found no significant impacts to area communities that could not be
addressed by a range of proposed mitigation efforts, such as investments in
electric buses to improve air quality.

The MTA says the fee will also help reduce traffic and improve regional air
quality by discouraging driving into Manhattan. And it will provide a
desperately needed annual cash infusion of around $1 billion for the city’s
subway and bus systems, which carry some 4 million riders daily.

The agency has warned that any delays to the fee put vital capital improvements
at risk, including plans to modernize some of the nation’s busiest subway lines.
The MTA has said it intends to launch the fee June 30.

Judge Lewis Liman isn’t expected to issue a decision immediately after the May
17 daylong hearing.

Many of the claims in the lawsuits echo arguments made last month during a
two-day hearing in a New Jersey federal court, where New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy
and Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich have each filed suits.

Judge Leo Gordon, who is weighing those legal challenges, has said he plans to
issue a written decision before the toll takes effect.
