New York is expected to install the first urban toll at the entrance to an American city in June. Cars and vans will have to pay 15 dollars during the day and 3.75 dollars at night.
The objective is to relieve congestion on the main avenues and streets which irrigate the island from north to south and to is in the west. The board of directors of the city's public subway and commuter rail operator, Metropolitan Transportation Authority, voted Wednesday evening in favor of the toll by 11 votes to one.
