Under the revised format, driving below 60th Street would be at least 50% cheaper between midnight and 4 a.m.

Discounts would also be offered to anyone earning $50,000 or less a year if they drive into the congestion zone more than 10 times a month.

In addition to easing traffic - the new funds would be used for infrastructure improvements at the MTA.

It is expected to take effect in 2024.
