How will Congestion pricing affect Members assigned to Manhattan houses south of 60th

[Darrell]

And the weird part was you paid full fare for the bridge, while a Staten Island resident working in Brooklyn got a hefty discount

I think the City and State can't decide on what the hell to do. The City doesn't own the VZ Bride Tolls, the State Does, and its the Cities idea on congestion pricing. So unless the city is going to make the tool is the same price as most bridges and tunnels in the city or less the Citizens will be caught in the middle. Heres a idea, make the Congestion Pricing idea under the command of the TBTA

Not sure about today but I always had to pay it when I covered off & on in R*5 in the late Eighties.

I’m talking about the apparatus itself, not the members personal vehicles.

The apparatus does not pay. FD, PD and other municipal vehicles have special EZ passes.

What's the Toll for them? Cause NYC has 29,999 City Vehicles, 26,999 active today.

I do not know, nor will I speculate but I do know for a fact that different color EZ pass is/was mounted in the vehicles that I drove.

If I were still on the job and worked in Manhattan below 60, I would have my transfer in to another borough. Just saying!
