Governor Kathy Hochul has not disclosed details of her recent phone conversations with former President Trump regarding New York City's congestion pricing program. The system, introduced to reduce traffic and fund essential transit improvements, charges $9 for vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street. While Hochul highlights anecdotal evidence of improved commute times, she has not confirmed if she advocated for the program during her discussions with Trump. The future of congestion pricing is uncertain as it awaits Trump's approval.
Hochul emphasized the importance of congestion pricing for funding the MTA, noting that revenue would support $15 billion in bonds for essential infrastructure projects.
Despite acknowledging improvements in traffic patterns, Hochul refrained from confirming whether she advocated for congestion pricing in her discussions with Trump.
