It has worked in cities like London and Singapore and state lawmakers are hoping congestion pricing will decrease traffic in New York City, too.

Possible added price breaks for people like Alvarez still need to be worked out, including:
* A day pass for people who live in the congestion zone
* A hardship exemption for those earning $60,000 or less
* A disability exemption for those with handicapped license plates
* An exemption for emergency vehicles and city-owned agency cars
