The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) announced yesterday that February congestion pricing program toll revenue was $51.9 million and net income after expenses was $40.4 million. “This keeps the program on track to provide the $500 million that was initially projected,” MTA noted.
The announcement includes a breakdown of the revenue stream by vehicle category and tolling period. Sixty-six percent of the tolls were collected from passenger vehicles and 95 percent during the peak tolling periods (5:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Monday through Friday, and 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM, Saturday and Sunday). “Expenses from the program including operating camera infrastructure and customer service amounted to $9.5 million. Combined with another $2 million for [environmental] mitigation efforts, expenses totaled $11.5 million.” MTA posted a link to a March 24 staff presentation on February program revenue.
During the program’s previous (and first) month of operation (from January 5-31, 2025), toll revenue was $48.66 million, expenses amounted to $11.1 million, and net income was $37.5 million, MTA reported.
