N.Y. Gov. Hochul brings back congestion pricing in NYC, will start in early 2025
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.-- Gov. Kathy Hochul has officially reinstated congestion pricing for New York City.
Another of the letter’s signers was on Staten Island this week to call for an end to congestion pricing.
Rep. Mike Lawler (R-Hudson Valley) joined most of the borough’s political representation at a press conference hosted by State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton (D-North Shore/South Brooklyn) to push back on congestion pricing.
“We have people from every corner of New York City, from Upstate here, saying that congestion pricing needs to end,” Scarcella-Spanton said at the conference on Tuesday. ”Continue to do the right thing, that 66% of New Yorkers stand behind, or else you’re going to lose a lot of us.”
