Hochul has been under pressure from transit advocates, environmental groups and supportive lawmakers to revive the toll since she spiked it in June.

Hochul had put the plan on "pause" in June just before the originally proposed toll of $15 was set to take effect.

The governor is renewing plans to start the tolling program, but at discounted rates. It is not clear whether the lower tolls could generate the $15 billion needed for mass transit repairs.
