Nearly 200 people were slapped with tickets, three were arrested and more than two dozen vehicles were seized as NYPD officers went out to enforce the contentious congestion pricing plan in Manhattan this week, authorities said.
The department said 81 of the summonses were for improper or covered plates, which could mean plates that have a number or letter scratched off or painted over, as The Post observed on several vehicles Sunday — when the $9 toll kicked in.
Officers launched the enforcement effort on Tuesday within the congestion tolling zone below 60th Street, which effectively encompasses all of Manhattan south of Central Park.
