The following is attributable to the Congestion Pricing Now Coalition:

Congestion pricing works, and the data proves it. Commute times are shorter for everyone – both drivers and mass transit riders – and our streets are safer and livelier than before. More than that, it’s the law. Any attempt to kill this program, which was authorized by the federal government, is an unwarranted intrusion into state and local governance. Interference from the federal government will waste taxpayer dollars on lawsuits, upend critical congestion relief and the cleaner air that goes along with it, derail vital transit upgrades that are already underway and the roughly 100,000 jobs they support, and hurt millions of daily transit riders across the tri-state region. We call on all of New York’s leaders to defend New York’s congestion pricing plan and protect a program that’s delivering real results for our region.
