HRES 27 United States House · 119th Congress

Expressing opposition to Central Business District Tolling Program of New York City.

This resolution (HRES 27) expresses the U.S. House of Representatives' opposition to New York City's proposed Central Business District Tolling Program, which would charge drivers up to $23 per day to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street. It directly affects daily commuters, small businesses (particularly those still recovering from pandemic-related losses), low-income families, and students traveling into Manhattan. The resolution disapproves the program, urges New York State to conduct and publicly share an economic impact report, and recommends halting implementation. The tolling program is intended to generate $1 billion annually for the MTA's capital projects and operations, but critics argue it would impose significant costs on residents and businesses already facing high inflation.
