Ways to pay the toll
The Central Business District Tolling Program is temporarily paused pending necessary approvals.
The Congestion Relief Zone will launch at a later date. Check back for updates.
Congestion Relief Zone tolling
Starting June 30, 2024, vehicles entering the Congestion Relief Zone in Manhattan—local streets and avenues at or below 60 Street—will be charged a toll. The toll amount will depend on the type of vehicle, time of day, whether any crossing credits apply, and the method of payment. See the full toll rate schedule.
E-ZPass is the best and cheapest way to pay the toll. Most drivers will be able to pay with their existing E-ZPass tag and account. If you already have an E-ZPass account, make sure it is up to date with your current license plate number as this will be needed for appropriate discounts, exemptions, and crossing credits. If you do not have an account, you can sign up for one on the E-ZPass website.
