Better roads are just around the corner with congestion pricing launching this Sunday, Jan. 5.
Regional Plan@RegionalPlan
2️⃣ days until #CongestionPricing comes to NYC! Questions on how it works or what this means for your commute? Head to @MTA's website for answers, from discounts available to how the money will be used ➡️ congestionreliefzone.mta.info/faqs

Thank you @NYCSpeakerAdams & @NYCCouncil for prioritizing housing production -- and for advancing #CityofYes for Housing with thoughtful amendments. Never before has the city considered a city-wide text amendment to spur housing, and we appreciate your strong partnership.
(ARCHIVED) Adrienne Adams@NYCSpeakerAdams
The Council's #CityForAll housing plan with $5 billion of investments and modified zoning changes are estimated to create over 80,000 new homes, while helping to strengthen neighborhoods and make housing more affordable. This is the most pro-housing plan in NYC history, including the first citywide zoning text amendment designed to create new homes with our modification to open every part of the city to affordable housing through inclusionary zoning.

took the day off to go testify in favor of congestion pricing at the MTA board meeting w/ @RidersAlliance!
super happy I got the chance to testify — @GovKathyHochul flip the switch already, this is getting ridiculous

@RepJerryNadler @MTA Thank you for your leadership Congressman Nadler!!

@DavidZipper @axios We don't give up easily, you know! There is indeed lots of support for congestion pricing.

I'm in NYC this week, and based on what I'm seeing/hearing, New Yorkers do not share @axios's defeatism on congestion pricing.
Open New York@OpenNYForAll
Don’t ever tell us there’s no movement for congestion pricing

.@GovKathyHochul said she paused #CongestionPricing because of lingering pandemic effects — "but investing in transit ... is exactly what our region needs to continue to recover."

Good news: public transit funding is on the rise in NY state, in part because of future #CongestionPricing revenue and the 2021 IIJA, @regionalplan analysis found. Read the full findings:

@SlevinKate You don't look a day older, though. Congrats!

The MTA just approved congestion pricing for NYC! It will improve transit, reduce traffic, clean the air and make streets safer. I have been working on this for the past 20 years with some amazing colleagues — this feels like a real milestone!

Congestion pricing's delay is officially stopping important work on capital projects - per the MTA Capital Committee presentation today.
We've been raising this alarm for 2+ years - the COVId-19 delays + CP delays are severely damaging to the MTA's ability to fix the system.

NYC could lose much needed transit improvements if #congestionpricing isn't implemented in a timely manner.
RPA and @FundTransitNow released maps of at-risk projects across the boroughs. See maps for all boroughs:

@NJTRANSIT_ME I’m stuck on a ME train trying to get home to my sick son. The Governor should be funding the transit system not making riders pay more for unreliable service.

NJ TRANSIT has held the line on fares since 2015. But despite identifying savings and revenue enhancements, the agency still faces a budget gap for FY25.

As a union household, this one hurts! We need congestion pricing so teachers and students can get to school on time. So disappointing @UFT
UFT@UFT
Today, our union, along with teachers who work at schools in Manhattan and the Bronx as well as Staten Island Borough President @SIBPVito, filed a federal lawsuit asking the court to halt the implementation of congestion pricing in Manhattan.

@RegionalPlan’s billboard in Trenton says it all. Without dedicated transit funding, NJT service will be cut and fares raised, and current transit service is already bad! #fundNjtransit

Exciting!
NYLCV@nylcv
Incredible footage! @SouthForkWind's 1st turbine is up & running & providing clean power to NY! NYLCV Pres @JulieTighe17 along w/ state leaders joined the project's developers @OrstedUS & @EversourceCorp for an up-close look at the what is the start of a new era of clean energy!

Congestion pricing isn't just going to reduce gridlock and ensure our children can breathe cleaner air.
It's going to help us invest in century-old public transit system so it's ready to serve New Yorkers for the next century to come.

Congestion pricing is more than just a traffic reduction program. It’s everyone’s #RouteForward to more accessible transportation, safer streets for a city on the move, and cleaner air from less traffic pollution.
