How were they going to enforce this congestion tax?
I can see how it would be collected if entering via the Holland Tunnel, Lincoln Tunnel, Brooklyn Battery Tunnel.
But if you are already in Manhattan north of 60th street, and then drive south, how would they have collected the tax?
The squeegy guys got a new gig..
How to enforce?
Put up liscence plate readers, ID the car’s location and time.
Send a bill, not paper if possible. Maybe put a list of fees due on the web, and the car owner must check on himself. Does not depend on who is driving, it is the car.
Enforce it through the DMV. Pay (with penalties and interest) or no registration.
Remember those coder jobs Joe was recommending? Maybe they are now AI jobs, like this one to identify, bill, and enforce.
Cameras were already installed inside Manhattan, ready for the congestion fee.
