NY Governor Scraps, for Now, Controversial Congestion Pricing Plan
The MTA’s controversial congestion pricing plan is on hold, for now. The governor announced the about-face late yesterday morning, citing high financial stress and inflation that have been hurting everyday New Yorkers, noting now is not the time to launch a new toll to get into the city. Governor Kathy Hochul, a Democrat, yesterday released a video in which she listed the various items, including eggs, tuition, childcare and housing, that have become much too expensive, and to now add a $15 congestion pricing toll into the mix, would be too much of a financial strain on middle-class New Yorkers…
Republicans were quick to pounce on the move as an election year stunt. Rockland State Senator Bill Weber of the 38th district called the governor’s move a political decision to protect vulnerable incumbent Democrats up for re-election…
And that was Rockland County Executive Ed Day and Orangetown supervisor Teresa Kenny. Rockland Congressman Mike Lawler said the plan should have been scrapped entirely. The congestion pricing plan would hit cars with a $15 toll when they drive below 60th Street into the so-called Congestion Relief Zone during peak hours. Officials expected it would have eliminated 100,000 vehicles from entering the zone each day, resulting in less traffic and cleaner air in the city. Several lawsuits are still pending looking to stop the plan entirely.
