Motorist Tax Abuse Act
HR 8120, the "Motorist Tax Abuse Act," prohibits the federal government from implementing congestion pricing in New York City's Central Business District. It amends a 1991 transportation law to specifically block the Secretary of Transportation from establishing or maintaining a tolling program for downtown Manhattan under the existing value pricing pilot program. The bill directly affects New York City drivers who would have faced tolls in the central business district and the federal agency managing transportation programs. This is a procedural change that prevents a specific tolling initiative from moving forward, without altering broader tax policies.
