Hudson Valley Move NY Facts & Benefits

Proposed Transit Investments

  • Increased County Bus Service
  • Metro-North service directly to Penn Station with four new stations in the Bronx
  • Increased parking capacity at MetroNorth stations

Roads & Bridges Investments

  • Sealing roads to prevent potholes; repairing potholes
  • Creating safer streets
  • Coating & lubricating bridge components so spans last longer

What is a Toll Swap?

The Move NY Fair Plan charges more where there’s more traffic and better transit options, and lowers tolls on all other MTA bridges. Tolls will be reduced by up to 48% on all MTA bridges; crossing into and out of Manhattan’s Central Business District, whether on a bridge or at 60th Street, will be tolled at the same rate as the Queens Midtown Tunnel and the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.
