Governor Hochul's potential revival of the congestion pricing scheme post-election illustrates a capitulation to MTA demands for revenue while disregarding public backlash from prior proposals.
The toll is expected to be lower than the previously proposed $15 a car, yet it still poses a financial burden on drivers while benefitting the MTA's mismanagement.
Waiving the toll for certain city employees reflects an attempt to placate critics, but ultimately, the plan serves more as a revenue-generating scheme than as a genuine traffic solution.
Rather than implementing new tolls, the MTA could focus on enforcing fare evasion rules and restructuring its workforce to address its fiscal issues effectively.
