First New York, now Philadelphia suddenly considering a 'congestion fee'?

"New York will soon become the first U.S. city to charge drivers to access its most congested neighborhoods — and Philly says it’s watching closely and considering the same move.

Beginning in 2021, New York drivers will have to pay what will be called a “congestion fee” to enter Manhattan below 60th Street, where the average speed for vehicles is 4.7 mph (down from 6.9 mph in 1994). The fee amount has yet to be determined — Gov. Andrew Cuomo has proposed consulting a panel of transportation experts to set the cost."
