Making Tolls Pay-off for Brooklyn

Implementing equitable toll pricing for all entry points to Brooklyn can deter 50,000 drivers from circumventing tolls and clogging local streets. This strategy aims to relieve congestion and enhance road capacity, thereby promoting economic development. Introducing time-of-day pricing can further minimize peak hour traffic, giving drivers access to lower-cost travel options. Additionally, Brooklyn would receive transit and road benefits commensurate with its 25% share of vehicle entries to Manhattan's Central Business District. A complete toll collection system at the 59th Street cordon could close existing loopholes and significantly double revenue.
