"Gov. Hochul's reluctance to engage with city residents supporting congestion pricing highlights a disconnect between her administration and the constituents affected by transportation policies."
"Critics have noted that the governor often avoids protests and dissenting opinions, preferring to be surrounded by supporters who reinforce her decisions regarding transit funding and congestion pricing."
"Activists from Riders Alliance protested Hochul's pause on congestion pricing, emphasizing the negative impact on subway accessibility improvements, particularly the lack of elevators at nearly two dozen stations."
"Hochul declared that New York has 'successfully' funded the MTA for over a century, a claim that many critics view as overly optimistic given current transit challenges."
