New York City transportation * USA: How truckers figure into a bold plan to upgrade it

* New York - Move NY is all about the tradeoffs


-- Access to New York City comes at a heavy price for the 30,000 commercial vehicles that pick up and deliver there each day. Many truckers pay bridge tolls up to $90 only to end up stuck in traffic like everyone else. Is there a solution to city’s unique transportation challenges and, more importantly for truckers, what will it cost them? ... A group called Move NY believes it has the solution, and it’s not the one that relies on increasing truck tolls to pay for everything else... The man spearheading the effort, Sam Schwartz, says the plan actually reduces truck tolls on some bridges by 40 percent... Toll rates would be higher during peak times and lower during off-peak times under the plan. That could end up costing truckers on just-in-time schedules more money than the ones who have flexibility to wait for off-peak times to make a move...
