Congestion pricing is set to take effect on Jan. 5, 2025, but before the tolls turn on, the MTA is offering commuters the chance to ask questions and learn more about the program.

The agency will host eight public webinars next month to go over everything those who plan on driving into the tolling zone will need to know about, including discounts and exemptions.

Each webinar will be 60 minutes, including a 30-minute presentation and a Q&A session.

Participants must sign up prior to a session and are invited to submit questions in advance through the registration link.

The webinars will take place on various days throughout December, with one being devoted to the Individual Disability Exemption Plan and another specifically focused on the Low-Income Discount Plan.

• Individual Disability Exemption Plan Webinar: Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 3 p.m. to 4 p.m.
• General Webinar: Wednesday, Dec. 4, from 4 p.m. to 5 p.m.
• Low-Income Discount Plan Webinar: Thursday, Dec. 5, from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m.
• General Webinar: Friday, Dec. 6, from 12:30 p.m. to 1:30 p.m.
• General Webinar: Tuesday, Dec. 10, from 6 p.m.to 7 p.m.
• General Webinar: Thursday, Dec. 12, from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m.
• General Webinar: Monday, Dec. 16, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m.

A translated video of the webinar presentation will be available online sometime in December.
