RPA Celebrates the Advancement of the Congestion Pricing Program

Statement attributable to Tom Wright, President and CEO of Regional Plan Association.

RPA welcomes Governor Hochul’s comprehensive plan for implementing congestion pricing as soon as possible to address the MTA’s capital funding needs. This historic step is vital for New York and will support our regional economy, a healthy transit system, and improved air quality. We look forward to working with Governor Hochul, the State Legislature and all stakeholders to advance this plan and deliver a stronger, greener and brighter future for millions of New Yorkers. Congestion pricing is a policy whose time has come.
