Expressing opposition to Central Business District Tolling Program of New York City.

Bill 118 H.Res. 609, titled "Expressing opposition to Central Business District Tolling Program of New York City," is a piece of legislation introduced in the US Congress. The bill aims to voice opposition to the Central Business District Tolling Program proposed by New York City.

The Central Business District Tolling Program is a plan put forth by New York City officials to implement tolls on vehicles entering certain parts of Manhattan in order to reduce traffic congestion and raise revenue for public transportation improvements. However, this bill expresses opposition to the program, citing concerns about the potential negative impact on businesses, commuters, and residents in the affected areas.

The bill argues that the tolling program could disproportionately burden low-income individuals who rely on driving into the city for work or other essential activities. It also raises concerns about the potential economic consequences for businesses in the Central Business District, as well as the lack of alternative transportation options for those who may be unable to afford the tolls. Overall, Bill 118 H.Res. 609 seeks to convey the concerns and opposition of certain members of Congress to the Central Business District Tolling Program of New York City. It highlights the potential negative impacts of the program on various stakeholders and calls for further consideration and evaluation of alternative solutions to address traffic congestion and transportation funding issues in the city.
