New York State Governor Kathy Hochul is reportedly considering delaying the city's congestion pricing plan citing concerns about timing, just weeks before it was set to begin. Despite supporting the environmental benefits, she worries about the implications of the launch date, especially on commuters' return to the business district.
"Delaying congestion pricing is a slap in the face to the millions of New Yorkers who rely on public transportation every day just to appease the program's loudest foes," expressed Elizabeth Adams, emphasizing the importance of congestion pricing for funding public transportation.
"The next time your train is late, your bus is trapped in traffic, your subway station is still missing an elevator, you know who to blame: Governor Kathy Hochul," stated Elizabeth Adams, highlighting the potential repercussions of delaying congestion pricing on transit services.
Governor Hochul's hesitation to proceed with congestion pricing may impact the $15 billion earmarked for Metropolitan Transportation Authority, a critical lifeline as per transportation advocates, affecting public transit services in New York City.
