NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s first-in-the-nation plan to levy a hefty toll on
drivers entering much of traffic-choked Manhattan was the focus of a legal
battle playing out in federal court Friday.

A Manhattan judge is hearing arguments in a series of lawsuits from unionized
public school teachers, local Republican officials and other New Yorkers seeking
to put the brakes on the plan set to launch June 30.

Most drivers in private cars, locals and tourists alike, heading into Manhattan
south of Central Park should expect to pay about $15 during the daytime, with
higher tolls for larger vehicles and lower rates for motorcycles and late-night
entries into the city, according to the proposal finalized in March. Those who
aren’t enrolled in a regional toll collection program will pay $22.50.



Lawyers for lower Manhattan residents argued Friday that the tolling scheme was
given the green light by federal transportation officials without proper
scrutiny. They said that before the toll is rolled out, more comprehensive
environmental studies need to be done and more detail provided about how the
state will address them.

“This is supposed to be an all-encompassing process, and it has been anything
but,” said Alan Klinger, who represents residents who claim their neighborhood
will see increased traffic and air pollution from drivers seeking alternative
routes to avoid the toll.

But lawyers for the Federal Highway Administration countered that New York
transit officials had thoroughly analyzed the plan’s consequences and presented
sufficient details for how they would address any harmful effects.



“None of these challenges have any merit,” said Zack Bannon, a highway
administration lawyer.

The toll is expected to lead to an overall decline in traffic across greater New
York City, even as some areas will see “small degree” of increased congestion,
said Elizabeth Knauer, a lawyer for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority,
the agency overseeing the congestion fee plan.

The MTA, she said, has committed to investing $155 million over five years to
address effects, including investments in roadside plants, parks, air-filtration
systems for schools near highways, and more electric vehicle charging stations.

Other lawsuits being argued Friday contend that low-income and minority
communities already dealing with poor air quality will be particularly hard hit
by the health effects of increased traffic through their streets.



They also argue drivers from other city boroughs and suburbs that lack adequate
mass transit will take a disproportionate financial hit. Additionally, they
claim, small businesses in the congestion zone will face higher operating costs
and fewer customers.

The MTA maintains it conducted extensive environmental reviews that found no
significant effects to communities that could not be addressed by their proposed
mitigation efforts.

The agency says the fee will also help reduce traffic and improve regional air
quality by discouraging driving into Manhattan. And it will provide a
desperately needed annual cash infusion of around $1 billion for the city’s
subway and bus systems, which carry some 4 million riders daily.

Judge Lewis Liman isn’t expected to issue a decision immediately after Friday’s
daylong hearing.



Many of the claims in Friday’s lawsuits echo arguments made last month during a
two-day hearing in a New Jersey federal court, where New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy
and Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich have each filed suits.

Judge Leo Gordon, who is weighing those legal challenges, has said he plans to
issue a written decision before the toll takes effect.
