A recent poll shows that only 33% of NYC residents support Kathy Hochul's congestion pricing proposal, while 64% oppose it. The plan faces widespread opposition in New York State, with 2/3 of voters against it, including only 34% of Democrats. The $15 'congestion' toll in Manhattan is overwhelmingly rejected by NY voters. Critics argue that the tax is regressive and coercive, targeting the working and middle class. Despite opposition from various groups like the NAACP, nurses, teachers, and law enforcement, the proposal continues to face backlash from residents across NY, NJ, and the tri-state area.
I am a lifelong New Yorker with a large network. I have not heard one positive thing about congestion pricing from the grassroots. If anything, people in the outer boroughs, LI, CT , Westchester, Rockland, and NJ are really sad. They see this as the death knell for Manhattan.… https://t.co/mmXrP8Ks5Z

From the @NAACP to nurses, teachers, law enforcement, small business owners, and families across NJ and NY, thousands have spoken in unison: Don’t force through the Congestion Tax. Don’t whack our families with a $4,000 a year tax. https://t.co/FJEryZVLNy

A large majority of New Yorkers are AGAINST the regressive coercive scam tax from @MTA called “Congestion Pricing.” This tax on the working and middle class was approved by @PeteButtigieg @POTUS who could have stopped the tax but chose not to. City and tri-state area…
New York voters resoundingly oppose NYC's "congestion pricing" -- but it's wildly popular with the 50% of voters who will get exemptions. https://t.co/d55lATIkdy
You don't say? New Yorkers oppose more taxes, including the congestion scam. Plain & simple. But with a government in the pocket of anti-car special interests, who cares about their opinions anyway, right? The Miserable Transit Authority needs more money to waste! 🙃 https://t.co/AkbSUAxUJd
The Congestion Tax is widely opposed by vast majority of Nee Yorkers. However, local pols felt that caving to transit and bike bros was the better option. https://t.co/DKo1FK16PY

2/3s of NY state opposes congestion pricing. Just 33% of NYC voters support it. Only 34% of Dems support it. Thats some scarlet letter the @mta is hanging on the necks of the Gov and legislature. https://t.co/8H8O59YEez

The @MTA is a bottomless black box with endless wasteful spending — it’s no surprise that so many are standing up against the Congestion tax. Instead of whacking Jersey families, they should clean up their own mess & mismanagement. https://t.co/9ITHxUt7c8
