The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) plans to implement congestion pricing in New York, with most passenger cars facing a $15 daily fee to enter the congestion zone. Trucks would pay $24 or $36 based on size, and taxi fares would increase by $1.25. Despite some support, there is growing opposition and concerns about safety in the transit system.

Only 22% of New Yorkers feel safe on the subway at night down a whopping 52% from 2017. This is the same system that New York politicians want to force you into by charging you $15 per day if you drive your car via congestion taxation.

NYC transit investment is key to the successful implementation of congestion pricing. MTA's fare-free bus program is the first step to ensuring all NYers can take advantage of our public transit system. @BKBPReynoso, @MBPMarkLevine, and I urge Gov.

The combo of New York's congestion charge, which will hit my family soon, with an increasingly lawless transit system where riders have to dodge bullets in packed trains: It's the most glaring example of what I’ve started calling SADO-PROGRESSIVISM. https://t.co/x7Ajiw7bHz
