{{main|New York congestion pricing}}
In March 2001, the [[Port Authority of New York and New Jersey]] implemented a discount during off-peak hours for those vehicles paying tolls for several tunnels and bridges connecting New York City and New Jersey using the electronic [[EZ Pass]].<ref>{{cite web |author=Peter Samuel |date=2001-01-11 |url=http://www.tollroadsnews.com/node/2848 |title=Peak/Off-Peak Tolls:Whitman whittles down PANYNJ tolls |publisher=TOLLROADSnews |access-date=2009-03-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090302073502/http://www.tollroadsnews.com/node/2848|archive-date=2 March 2009 }}</ref><ref>{{cite news|author=Ronald Smothers|date=2001-03-27|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/27/nyregion/grumbling-but-still-moving-under-new-rush-hour-tolls.html|title=Grumbling, but Still Moving, Under New Rush-Hour Tolls|newspaper=The New York Times|access-date=2009-03-10|archive-date=14 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160314100343/http://www.nytimes.com/2001/03/27/nyregion/grumbling-but-still-moving-under-new-rush-hour-tolls.html|url-status=live}}</ref> Since March 2008, qualified low-emission automobiles could get a 50% discount during off-peak hours.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.panynj.gov/COMMUTINGTRAVEL/tunnels/html/tolls.html#faq8 |title=New Toll Rates – Effective, 3 AM, March 2, 2008: Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS) |publisher=Port Authority of New York and New Jersey |access-date=2009-03-10 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090301021437/http://www.panynj.gov/CommutingTravel/tunnels/html/tolls.html |archive-date=1 March 2009 }}</ref>

In April 2007 the [[New York City]] Mayor [[Michael Bloomberg]] proposed a [[New York congestion pricing|contentious congestion charge]] on cars using most streets in the central business district (southern half of [[Manhattan]])<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030/downloads/pdf/report_transportation.pdf |title=Transportation has always been the key to unlocking New York's potential |access-date=2012-03-08 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070703111917/http://www.nyc.gov/html/planyc2030/downloads/pdf/report_transportation.pdf|archive-date=3 July 2007 }}</ref> as part of the broader [[PlaNYC|PlaNYC 2030]]. The plan received broad support from a coalition of civic, business, environmental, labor, community, and public health organizations and the City Council voted for the measure but also received significant opposition. The [[New York Legislature]] declined to vote on it in April 2008 saying that "... the opposition was so overwhelming,... that he would not hold an open vote of the full Assembly".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.ny1.com/ny1/content/index.jsp?stid=1&aid=80238 |title=Congestion Pricing Dies in Albany |publisher=NY1 |date=2010-03-30 |access-date=2010-12-12 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080511092713/http://www.ny1.com/ny1/content/index.jsp?stid=1&aid=80238|archive-date = 11 May 2008}}</ref>

Governor [[Andrew Cuomo]] reintroduced a congestion pricing proposal for New York City in 2017 in response to the [[New York City Subway]]'s [[History of the New York City Subway#2017 state of emergency|state of emergency]], a proposal that Mayor [[Bill de Blasio]] opposed. A commission to investigate the feasibility of congestion pricing, organized in late 2017, found that a congestion pricing scheme could benefit New York City. If approved, New York City's congestion pricing zone will be the first in North America.<ref name="NYT: Whose Time">{{Cite news |last1=Santora |first1=Marc |title=Cuomo Calls Manhattan Traffic Plan an Idea 'Whose Time Has Come' |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=13 August 2017 |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/13/nyregion/cuomo-rethinks-opposition-to-tolls-to-ease-manhattan-traffic.html |issn=0362-4331 |df=mdy-all |access-date=3 February 2018 |archive-date=14 August 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170814145051/https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/13/nyregion/cuomo-rethinks-opposition-to-tolls-to-ease-manhattan-traffic.html |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2017/08/21/nyregion/de-blasio-congestion-pricing.html|title=Mayor de Blasio Says He 'Does Not Believe' in Congestion Pricing|last=Goodman|first=J.
