I am glad to hear that Governor Hochul has postponed congestion pricing, but the fight is not over. ‘Indefinitely postponed’ is not enough. I recently spoke with Ken Rosato from WOR Radio on the efforts we are taking on the federal level, to cancel congestion pricing for good. https://t.co/hDRad6Emj7
Hochul did NOT say last week that she was “committed to congestion pricing” — in fact she pointedly avoided making any such statement, and only said she was committed to transit improvements. The shifting rhetoric from the governor here has been dizzying. https://t.co/Zs8dnQKRrP

I’m hearing that Gov. Hochul’s people are shocked by the blowback to her flip-flop on congestion pricing. We should continue to pressure her. Here’s ⬇️ some text you can use while contacting Hochul through her form: https://t.co/SrFhoeasE8 https://t.co/yIU59MWJoO
Congestion pricing is still the law of the land. 24 days until the toll starts. It’s still not clear if Hochul will be able to drive it into the ground before time runs out. A press release won’t be enough, and no indication the Senate + Assembly + MTA Board will go along.
