New York’s Route Forward is Clear
Governor Hochul has brought back congestion pricing, clearing the way for faster commutes, cleaner air and long-awaited transit upgrades.
New Yorkers will get the upgrades they deserve – reliable, accessible and affordable transportation in and around the city.
What Is Congestion Pricing?
Congestion Pricing, is a program that was approved in 2019 by New York State to fix the trains and buses, reduce traffic, and help New York meet ambitious climate and environmental goals. By levying a toll on cars that enter Manhattan’s Central Business District below 60th street, one of the most congested zones in the nation - New Yorkers will get faster, more reliable public transportation and safer, less congested streets.
“We can have world-class transit that is fast, reliable, and accessible. Anything less isn’t worthy of the world’s greatest city.”
