Cuomo’s spokesperson stated that New York’s current situation contrasts sharply with 2019, suggesting the new congestion toll may hinder the city’s recovery without proper studies.
Cuomo, having been a key figure in instigating congestion pricing in 2019, has changed his stance, indicating that the implementation now may not be appropriate given the economic climate.
His spokesperson highlighted that congestion pricing relates to the subway's safety and reliability, which are currently in question, emphasizing public confidence in the system.
Despite supporting congestion pricing as a long-term strategy, Cuomo's team argues that the timing of its implementation is critical, with current socio-economic factors at play.
