Why implementing congestion pricing in NYC is vital for a cleaner environment, less traffic, and a sustainable transit system: bit.ly/4bTeMSd

👏🎉Congratulations to MTA and Governor Kathy Hochul for setting the date for the start of congestion pricing.

We look forward to the program turning on, and MTA releasing #opendata so the public can monitor implementation, and policymakers can keep the program strong and effective.

Great that MTA has price tag for climate-resilience needs.

Still missing from its 20-year Needs Assessment is cost of all Rebuild/Improve projects. MTA should publish an addendum, to show the public full needs of the system.
