Gov. Kathy Hochul is quietly maneuvering to delay a plan to toll drivers entering Manhattan's central business district, just weeks before it is slated to go into effect... But even as Ms. Hochul believes that congestion pricing is good environmental policy, she has concerns that the timing was less than ideal...Ms. Hochul's gambit, if successful, would be a devastating blow to advocates and organizers who have worked for more than a decade to bring this change to New York City.
The tolling scheme was designed to reduce traffic congestion in Manhattan and produce $1 billion a year in revenue for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which runs the region's subways, buses and two of its commuter rail systems.
