New York’s new $1.50 congestion fee? We’ve got you covered.

Look for a credit in the Lyft app anytime you pay the new central business district surcharge within NYC’s Congestion Relief Zone, now thru January 31, 2025.

With this new fee set to hit New Yorkers beginning Jan. 5, we want to help make it a smooth transition for everyone.

Consider it a first step in our New Year’s resolution to help make rides in NYC more affordable.

Qualifying rides

The new $1.50 congestion fee applies to all rides that start, end, or pass through the Congestion Relief Zone in Manhattan. It’s now part of the cost of these rides.

Look for your credit

Riders will get a credit when their qualifying ride officially ends. Look for your credit at the ‘Rate & Pay’ step or 24 hours after the ride, whichever happens first. Credits last for 7 days upon receipt.

Our ongoing commitment

This is just one way we're working to make rides more affordable for New Yorkers.
