Opportunity to Become a NYC Free Tax Prep Volunteer
If you’re thinking of how to give back, one way to consider is becoming an NYC Free Tax Prep Volunteer. As a volunteer preparer, you can have a real impact on New Yorkers’ lives. With just a few hours a week, you will help about five families complete their tax returns and claim valuable tax credits. By the end of the season, you’ll complete about 40 tax returns, helping your neighbors claim more than $90,000 in refunds and tax preparation fee savings.
Go to the NYC Department of Consumer and Worker Protection’s website for information on how to become a NYC Free Tax Prep Volunteer.
Study on Reimagining the FDR Drive
CB6 wants to begin a discussion on the FDR Drive, which contains aging infrastructure and has a major impact on our district, as well as our city. CB6 therefore commissioned a report on the FDR Drive, a report done by WXY Architecture + Urban Design. At the March 13, 2024 Full Board meeting, WXY presented to the community board a summary of their findings on the FDR Drive’s current conditions, as well as potential visions for the highway. You can also access their report detailing all of the findings.
Information on Congestion Pricing
The Central Business District Tolling Program, also known as congestion pricing, is now in effect.
The toll amount depends on the type of vehicle, time of day, whether any crossing credits apply, and the method of payment. For example, passenger vehicles with E-ZPass are charged $9 in the peak period or $2.25 overnight, once daily. Discounts or exemptions may apply to your trip – visit mta.info/discounts for more details.
E-ZPass is the best way to pay the toll. Drivers will be able to pay with their existing E-ZPass transponder and account. If you already have an E-ZPass account, make sure it is up to date with your current license plate number, to ensure you are charged the E-ZPass toll rate and receive any peak period crossing credits.
