RPA President Comments on Governor Cuomo’s and Mayor de Blasio’s MTA Transformation Plan

share

We commend Governor Cuomo and Mayor de Blasio for their staunch support of congestion pricing in their 10-Point Plan announcement today,” said Tom Wright, President, Regional Plan Association. ​“Their partnership on this plan shows that our region’s transit system is in dire need of improvements and funding it is a high priority. Passing congestion pricing is critical in funding the much-needed improvements for the MTA and we’re thrilled that the Governor and Mayor are on board. It’s time for Albany to follow suit.”
