Updates from the fight to bring congestion pricing to the streets of New York City. congestionpricingnow.nychttps://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kx3tgkgbuq23Truly horrible. When Kathy Hochul deigns to listen to anyone, it is to people like this killer, people who live in the suburbs and insist on driving their oversized vehicle into the densest place in America. #CongestionPricingNow https://gothamist.com/news/nypd-4th-person-dead-after-drunk-driver-rammed-into-les-park-on-july-4th12 Jul 2024 15:15 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kx3tgkgbuq23https://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kwztob5dcs25Sure would be a shame if the governor's inbox was flooded with questions about #CongestionPricing. https://forms.ny.gov/s3/Questions-for-the-Governor11 Jul 2024 20:14 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kwztob5dcs25https://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kws2s2kwbd2p#CongestionKathy are we winning yet? https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/07/08/midtown-traffic-slower-than-ever-after-hochuls-congestion-pricing-betrayal08 Jul 2024 18:00 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kws2s2kwbd2phttps://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kwkbgrye4l2zKathy Hochul doesn't care. https://gothamist.com/news/nypd-3-people-now-dead-after-pick-up-driver-plows-into-les-park-on-july-4th05 Jul 2024 15:38 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kwkbgrye4l2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kwfjgybvmx2wNew worry just dropped. #Project2025 https://www.americanprogress.org/article/project-2025-would-increase-costs-for-commuters-defund-transit-maintenance-and-undermine-economic-growth/03 Jul 2024 18:18 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kwfjgybvmx2whttps://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kwaf2lqqzj2sKathy Hochul contains multitudes. A few weeks ago, she decided that what New York City needed more of was cars. Now that the nice folks at @transalt.org were kind enough to bring a whole bunch of them to her office, she has changed her tune and refused to accept them. What gives Kathy???

I'm sooo tired and it isn't even Monday yet.30 Jun 2024 22:10 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kw6f2kvpg62lhttps://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kw5tp5n4cj27The toll so far from Kathy Hochul's #CongestionPricing reversal summed up in a single graphic, courtesy of @streetsblognyc.bsky.social. More cars on the road, more pollution in the air, more lives lost to traffic violence, more wasted time, less revenue. A dark day for NYC and the world. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/06/30/all-weve-lost-congestion-pricing-should-have-started-today30 Jun 2024 17:00 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kw5tp5n4cj27https://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kvzaic4zts2rPissed off about #CongestionPricing?

Call call call. Call the governor. Call your federal reps. Call your state reps. Call your council member. 2. Come on out to a rally, make some noise and meet likeminded people! Don't let #CongestionKathy get away with this!27 Jun 2024 13:54 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kvvxvd2i522thttps://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kvuqtzfupk23Angry and disappointed after today's MTA board meeting? I know I am! But it is important to not let our emotions get the best of us. It's old news that #CongestionPricing can't start without NYSDOT's signature. What was genuinely surprising today is how supportive the board is of congestion pricing.27 Jun 2024 02:15 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kvuqtzfupk23https://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kvt4bzhxq22uToday's the day!!!

Have a few hours free tomorrow? Come on down to MTA HQ! There will be coffee, donuts, and a short rally before the board meets. If you are feeling extra motivated, stay for the public comment period and tell the board directly how congestion pricing will affect you. https://action.ridersalliance.org/mta-board-62624/25 Jun 2024 17:32 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kvrd5mjjpk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kvr2tgpels2sAs #CongestionKathy searches for a solution to the #CongestionPricing debacle, it is vital to remember that $1 billion of tolls a year is NOT the same as $1 billion from any other source, since the MTA will actually be able to raise $15 billion in bonds backed by the congestion pricing program.25 Jun 2024 15:03 +0000at://did:plc:mlqs42ohj35xm2cch6aywums/app.bsky.feed.post/3kvr2tgpels2shttps://bsky.app/profile/congestionpricing.bsky.social/post/3kvpjh5jtlx2pGlad that Albany's best minds are hard at work filling the hole left from Hochul's #CongestionPricing pause.
