Congestion pricing rolled out starting Sunday morning but today is the real test as people make their first weekday morning commute into downtown Manhattan.

Most drivers who travel on local roads below 60th Street in Manhattan will be hit with a once-a-day $9 toll during peak hours, seven days a week. The toll reduces to $2.25 overnight.

Supporters say the policy will reduce traffic, raise money for public transit and protect the environment.

Opponents, including many on Long Island, have called it a tax on those who have no choice but to drive into the city for work.

The MTA has carved out several exemptions including for emergency vehicles, buses and for people with disabilities. There is also a low-income driver discount that commuters can apply for.

An extra fee will be given to people taking yellow cabs or ride-share services.

There are really three main options for commuters coming into Manhattan from Long Island that do not include driving into the Bronx or Brooklyn.

Drivers taking the Queens Midtown Tunnel will be charged the usual toll each way ($6.94 with E-ZPass and $11.19 by mail) as well as the $9 congestion pricing toll one-time per day. Drivers will also be given a $3 crossing credit to offset some of the cost.

Those taking the Queensboro Bridge will not pay a toll to cross but will now pay the congestion pricing fee once they exit the bridge onto the local roads below 60th Street even if they are heading to the bridge from the FDR Drive.

Drivers on the Triborough Bridge will not pay the same crossing toll ($6.94 with E-ZPass and $11.19 by mail) and only pay the congestion pricing fee if they drive south below 60th Street.

The MTA approved several exemptions including for low-income drivers, emergency and government vehicles as well as school and commuter buses.

Ride share options including taxis will not be charged the toll but instead will pass a fee onto passengers.
