"If I lose $15 billion that we're able to leverage with the money brought in by congestion pricing, then I won't be able to fix the stations and the repairs and the new buses I need."
"We have to fight to keep it going, and that's why I'm taking it to the courts and I'll take it wherever I can."
"They're telling us we have to have an orderly cessation by the end of March. I'm saying we're going to have to have an orderly resistance."
"I said, 'Mr. President, we are both New Yorkers. This is for our city.'"
Governor Kathy Hochul has stated that President Trump must provide $15 billion in federal funds to address New York City's subway system if the controversial congestion pricing is eliminated. She made this demand during a recent meeting with Trump, emphasizing the potential loss of funds the state would incur without the tolls. The federal government has set a deadline of March 21 to halt toll collections, but Hochul has vowed to contest this order, insisting on the necessity of maintaining revenue for important city infrastructure projects.
