Please see the invitation below from the Central Business District Tolling Program Team:

 

Thank you for your continued interest in the Central Business District Tolling Program. Outreach continues for the Central Business District Tolling Program (CBDTP) with three virtual public meetings in December. The December sessions will provide information on what we have been hearing from public outreach and discussions with the Environmental Justice (EJ) Technical Advisory Group and the EJ Stakeholder Working Group, as well as on some of the ongoing analysis related to potential effects on EJ communities in the 28-county Study Area.

 

The webinars will be held on the following dates:

New York: Tuesday, December 7, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (click here to sign-up)

New Jersey: Wednesday, December 8, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (click here to sign-up)

Connecticut: Thursday, December 9, 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. (click here to sign-up)

Participants will also have the option to speak anonymously. The meetings will also be livestreamed at https://new.mta.info/project/CBDTP, however, in order to speak, participants must join the Zoom meeting, either online or by phone. Accessibility and Language Assistance Services: At all public project meetings, CART Captioning and American Sign Language services will be available.

About the Central Business District Tolling Program: The Central Business District Tolling Program (CBDTP) would lower traffic and help MTA improve its transit system. Vehicles that enter or remain in Manhattan’s Central Business District (CBD) would be tolled. Prior studies have shown that programs like the CBDTP can improve air quality. Investing in an improved mass transit system could help promote equity by providing expanded access to the system.
