As we get ready for the start of Congestion Relief Zone tolling on January 5, community members have been asking great questions about the program. Here are some answers to some of our frequently asked questions ⬇️ How do the crossing credits work? You'll get one if you enter the zone via the Lincoln, Holland, Queens-Midtown, or Hugh L. Carey tunnels with an E-ZPass during the peak period. No crossing credits are available overnight, when the toll is discounted 75% from the peak toll. The crossing credit is up to $3 for passenger vehicles, $7.20 for small trucks and buses, $12 for large trucks and licensed sightseeing buses, and $1.50 for motorcycles. Check the final toll schedule here: https://lnkd.in/e_a_yBpU -- I applied for a discount/exemption plan in the spring. Do I need to re-apply? If you were approved for a discount/exemption plan in the spring, you do not need to re-apply as the plan is already on your E-ZPass account. To check your approval status, call E-ZPass customer service at 800-333-8655. -- If I’m driving a rental car, how do I pay the Congestion Relief Zone toll? If you’re driving a rental car and enter the Congestion Relief Zone, you’ll pay via Tolls by Mail. Visit https://lnkd.in/ex2N8mcJ and click “Rental / Loaner Vehicle.” Make sure to mark the transaction as a “rental vehicle.” -- Are you exempt from the toll if you live in the Congestion Relief Zone? You're not exempt from the toll. However, if you live in the zone & your NY adjusted household gross income is <$60,000 annually, you may be eligible for a tax credit in the amount of tolls paid: https://lnkd.in/e-a8wjUV -- Have more questions?

NYC DRIVERS, congestion pricing starts January 5 🚗 Here are 3 things you can do to make sure you’re ready: 1. Double check that your E-ZPass is up to date!
