Congestion pricing is set to begin in three weeks, but one early childhood music teacher says the plan will hurt her livelihood.

Meredith Levande, who travels from Manhattan to preschools in the Bronx daily, says the new $9 toll will take a significant portion of her income.

She argues that public transportation isn’t feasible for her, as she carries bulky equipment for her classes.

Levande has joined legal efforts to delay congestion pricing, and asks for further studies on the toll’s impact.
