"Congestion pricing has been a once-in-a-lifetime success story, leading to cleaner air, better transit and faster and safer traffic throughout the city. We knew that to do this right, we had to bring real air quality improvements directly to parts of New York City that have been neglected for far too long."
"These new refrigeration units will be a game changer for Hunts Point market, with air quality improvements equivalent to removing thousands of truck trips on our roads every day, making the Bronx's air cleaner and improving quality of life."
"Replacing just one diesel-powered transport refrigeration unit avoids the particulate matter emission equivalent to 330 truck trips a day on the Cross Bronx Expressway."
Governor Kathy Hochul announced significant air quality improvements in the Bronx funded by congestion pricing. The MTA and NYC DOT replaced 20 diesel-powered transport refrigeration units at Hunts Point Produce Market with clean diesel or hybrid models. This initiative is expected to reduce nitrogen oxide and fine particulate matter emissions, equivalent to removing thousands of truck trips daily. The new units will enhance air quality and support the market's role in food supply, marking the beginning of further clean air investments funded by tolling revenues.
