Governor Kathy Hochul stated, "As I said from the start, a $15 toll was just too high in this economic climate. That's why our plan cuts the daytime toll to $9 for cars." This change aims to ease congestion, reduce pollution, and improve public transit services for millions of New Yorkers.
Hochul's decision to introduce congestion pricing comes amid a contentious political climate, particularly following Donald Trump’s recent election. The move is strategically beneficial, making it difficult for an incoming administration to reverse the policy without facing public backlash.
