The MTA's Grand Central Madison, a new underground terminal, is touted as NYC's safest train station due to low crime rates. MTA Chair Janno Lieber's statement on crime in the subway contrasts with the upcoming congestion pricing in NYC, facing opposition from NJ drivers. Legal challenges and backlash surround the congestion pricing plan, aiming to charge drivers $15 per day to enter Manhattan below 60th Street during peak hours. Efforts to improve transit networks in Miami are met with challenges and changes in funding proposals.
The war on cars and private ownership continues, and New York City is taking it to a whole new level. This new tax will be counterproductive and drive more people out of New York City — increasing the death spiral of the city and the transit system. @DFR_Economics https://t.co/uhrlaR8YhC

Drivers will soon pay $15 PER DAY to enter Manhattan below 60th Street between 5am and 9pm weekdays. The object of the tax is not to improve NYC roads, but to shift drivers away from their cars to public transit. @DFR_Economics https://t.co/0TMNcwfrun

As hearings get underway in New Jersey’s lawsuit to stop NYC’s tax on NJ commuters, it is my hope the judge recognizes how this plan will unfairly penalize middle class New Jerseyans and undercut our shared environmental and congestion goals by not sharing a cent with NJTransit.
Lawyers for New Jersey mounted a last-ditch effort to derail a New York program to charge most drivers $15 to enter central Manhattan during peak hours. https://t.co/oV0PcWGfvs

Instead of whacking commuters with a $15/day Congestion Tax, the @MTA should clean up their black box of endless spending & mismanagement first. That starts with the $700 million lost each year in fare evasion. Absurd! Read more from @CBCNY ⬇️: https://t.co/XeMsfMHqdG

Greg Lalevee, the business manager of @IUOE825, is right: the @MTA’s Congestion Tax math doesn’t add up. That’s why I’ve submitted a legal request to the @MTA requiring them to show how they calculated their Congestion Tax. https://t.co/raOEvfzOwS

Same reason the city is taxing some building buyers at rates 2x what the buildings are actually worth ... Just wait until "congestion pricing" kicks in. New $17 toll on nearly everyone. If you live in NJ it could cost you $100 just to drive into NYC for a lunch. https://t.co/RUtyY8ZdkK
