A – Yes, Congestion pricing has been in effect for commercial vehicles on the Tappan Zee Bridge since 1997, with the aim of encouraging commercial traffic on the bridge during non-peak hours. Extending congestion pricing for all vehicles remains an option. In addition, the Thruway Authority is helping implement transportation demand management (TDM) measures, including vanpooling and the use of shuttle and bus services, which are designed to reduce traffic.
