About Keep NYC Congestion Tax Free

Keep NYC Congestion Tax Free represents a diverse coalition of civic, business and labor organizations and businesses throughout New York City. We share a simple vision: to keep our city congestion tax free. Our coalition opposes the imposition of tolls on the City's FREE East River and Harlem River Bridges. Our members previously opposed the $8 fee ($21 for trucks) the Mayor proposes to impose on drivers entering Manhattan below 86th Street. Our members urge New Yorkers to deliver a simple message to our legislators: "Say no to the toll fee the Mayor wants to charge us to enter Manhattan." Many supporters and coalition members propose alternatives that better address traffic issues in our entire city and provide new and fair sources to support mass transit.

Please look through own our reports, statements and commentaries and the reports of others including dedicated public officials.

Keep NYC Congestion Tax Free will explore the issues and share further commentaries as long as efforts continue to impose this congestion tax or any other scheme to impose tolls on our FREE East River and Harlem River bridges on us.
