Mayor Adams backs Gov. Hochul's pause of NYC congestion pricing amid backlash, emphasizing trust in her leadership and acknowledging economic hardships facing New Yorkers.
Hochul's decision to halt the program, aimed to charge a $15 toll for most entering Manhattan below 60th Street, was due to concerns over the economic burden on struggling residents.
The program, set to raise $1 billion annually for MTA, faced rejection from lawmakers on alternative funding streams, leading to its sudden halt before taking effect on June 30.
Adams expressed his support for Hochul, highlighting their strong relationship and his willingness to assist during challenging times, emphasizing unity and collaboration.
