All the improvements the MTA planned through congestion pricing are jeopardized by Gov. Hochul's decision, hindering upgrades like the Second Avenue Subway extension and ADA compliance in subway stations, posing challenges for the MTA's plans without congestion pricing revenue.
The delay in implementing congestion pricing is stalling major projects like the Interborough Express light rail system in Brooklyn and Queens, hindering MTA's ability to upgrade public transportation infrastructure to meet modern standards due to lack of resources.
Hochul emphasizes finding funding alternatives without tolling Manhattan drivers, reassuring that projects like the Second Avenue Subway extension, ADA upgrades, and Interborough Express won't be abandoned despite the current revenue setback.
The current situation highlights the struggle of MTA's financial limitations to upgrade transportation services, relying heavily on congestion pricing revenue to progress initiatives, but facing a roadblock as no revenue is being generated.
