Gov. Kathy Hochul abruptly halted a congestion pricing tolling program in New York, undoing a major step towards prioritizing mass transit and generating revenue for critical repairs and improvement.
The $15 billion gap in the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's budget due to the suspension of congestion pricing has put long-planned subway works and improvements in jeopardy.
The suspension of congestion pricing, a decision that took decades to materialize, transformed what was anticipated to be a triumph for mass transit into a cautionary narrative.
The halt on congestion pricing reignited discussions among city and transportation leaders regarding the sustainability and funding of transit systems nationally.
