With congestion pricing now in effect, the cost of Uber, Lyft and taxi rides in Manhattan may get more expensive. Here's how it works:

Uber and Lyft poured millions of dollars into efforts to legalize congestion tolling — and they stand to be among the biggest winners.

Driving into the heart of New York City just got more expensive thanks to a long-anticipated congestion pricing plan that went into effect this week.

New York City's congestion toll program launched on Sunday, adding new fees for drivers and rideshare customers. Uber and Lyft lobbied in favor of congestion tolls and are positioned to benefit from the new fees.

More than 100,000 drivers across New York are eligible to receive settlement funds and benefits under these historic agreements.

Rideshare drivers in New York who believe they were underpaid by Uber or Lyft could share in a multimillion-dollar settlement.
