A Siena College poll shows 42% of New York City voters want congestion pricing to remain, contrasting with 40% of upstate residents who prefer its elimination. Governor Hochul has criticized the recent federal decision to rescind approval for the tolling program, which charges drivers to enter Manhattan. The MTA is currently pursuing legal action following this setback. Hochul's support for congestion pricing contrasts with the sentiments of voters outside the city, where a majority want it abolished, highlighting the divide between urban and suburban opinions on the issue.
"A majority of New York City voters, 42 to 35%, support keeping the MTA's congestion pricing program active despite some regional opposition outside the city."
"The U.S. Department of Transportation rescinded approval of the program, prompting Governor Hochul and the MTA to file a lawsuit against Trump's administration."
