New York’s congestion pricing plan raised $48.6 million in tolls during its first month, a strong start for the program that exceeded expectations and kept it on track to raise billions of dollars for the region’s decaying mass transit system.
The revenue figures, expected to be released publicly on Monday by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, are the latest sign that the tolling plan is working, even as President Trump has moved to kill the program.
The M.T.A., which oversees the plan, expected to collect an average of $40 million a month in the program’s first phase.
I thought congestion pricing was dead ? Could someone give me an update please ? I am a euro and although interested I don’t have time to follow all of the political drama surrounding this.
>On Friday, Gov. Kathy Hochul met with President Trump to defend the toll, armed with a 22-slide presentation showing that, in addition to the traffic benefits, commercial office leasing
You think Trump even paid attention or did his eyes just glaze over as soon as people started talking about numbers
If the federal government kills this great policy its gonna blackpill me a bit into thinking we’re never accomplishing anything substantial. Chairman Hochul needs to keep fighting for it as I think this will be a much needed win for blue city governance
