Congestion pricing will start in New York City in January with a $9 toll, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced Thursday.  Hochul wants to restart the program at a reduced rate, which is why it's being lowered from $15 for most daytime trips into Manhattan's Congestion Relief Zone.

The governor is renewing plans to start the tolling program, but at discounted rates. Ms. Hochul said it will generate $15 billion for mass transit.
