A toll to drive downtown? As New York experiments, Boston watches
It’s about to get more expensive to drive into the heart of Manhattan, and some transportation experts in Boston are watching closely.
Beginning June 30, New York City plans to charge drivers entering a portion of lower Manhattan up to $15. The policy is designed to ease gridlock on the island’s famous streets and avenues. It’s also projected to bring in about $1 billion a year to help fund the city’s public transportation system.
