Conversely, a poll of New York City residents found that close to two-thirds of respondents were against the congestion toll. [217] The MTA board gave its final approval to the plan on March 27, 2024, [218] making New York City the first locality in the United States to approve the creation of a congestion-pricing zone.

When the New York City Transit Authority was created in July 1953, the fare was raised to 15 cents (equivalent to $1.71 in 2023) and a token was issued. [ 101 ] In 1970 the fare was raised to 30 cents. [ 102 ]
The roentgen or röntgen (/ ˈ r ɛ n t ɡ ə n,-dʒ ə n, ˈ r ʌ n t-/; [2] symbol R) is a legacy unit of measurement for the exposure of X-rays and gamma rays, and is defined as the electric charge freed by such radiation in a specified volume of air divided by the mass of that air (statcoulomb per kilogram).

MGY or a variant thereof is used as an abbreviation for: Megagray (MGy) and milligray (mGy), SI derived units of the gray (absorbed radiation dose) mgy, MGY, mmgy, MMgy, or MMGY: Million gallons per year
It is the absorbed energetic dose before the biological efficiency of the radiation is factored in. The rep has variously been defined as 83 or 93 ergs per gram of tissue (8.3/9.3 mGy) [2] or per cm 3 of tissue. [3] At the time, this was thought to be the amount of energy deposited by 1 roentgen. [4]
The average radiation dose from an abdominal X-ray is 0.7 millisieverts (0.0007 Sv), that from an abdominal CT scan is 8 mSv, that from a pelvic CT scan is 6 mGy, and that from a selective CT scan of the abdomen and the pelvis is 14 mGy. [7]
