""In just one year, congestion pricing has been an unprecedented success in New York,""
""By every measure, this program has met or exceeded expectations: traffic and gridlock are down substantially, people are moving faster, air quality is improved, streets are safer and our economy is stronger.""
Gov. Hochul held a jubilant press conference to mark the one-year anniversary of congestion pricing and called the policy an unprecedented success. Reported outcomes include substantially reduced traffic and gridlock, faster travel, improved air quality, safer streets, and a stronger economy. Eighteen months earlier she paused the program, provoking anger from transit and climate advocates and other supporters. Her tactics during the pause included meeting critics, claiming support from hotel caterers, and lobbying for a replacement tax. The toll was later reinstated at a lower price and she now publicly supports the program.
