The MTA says it will not charge any fines or fees besides the toll price for 60 days. Watch out for phishing scams.

New York’s much-debated plan to charge drivers to enter the center of Manhattan is set to take effect Sunday just after midnight, following years of bureaucratic and legal roadblocks. The goals of what is known as “congestion pricing” are to reduce gridlock and pollution and raise revenue for public transit.

With congestion pricing now in effect in NYC, officials are cracking down on obscured license plates, or "ghost plates," to avoid the toll.

Four days into New York City's controversial congestion pricing plan, and police have already busted dozens of drivers trying to figure out ways to cheat the new toll.

Drivers have been paying a toll to travel into the congestion zone in Manhattan since Sunday. Police and the MTA have been making sure people pay. Three drivers were arrested for warrants or serious violations at an action Wednesday afternoon into the evening on the Whitestone Bridge.
