NY Gov Hochul delays controversial NYC congestion pricing plan ‘indefinitely’.

I’m sure lots of revenue will be missed now that NYC congestion tolling has been killed, but was it earmarked for specific mass transit projects or was it just going to be used to hire more cops and whatnot?

    15 billion dollars lost, lol. Way to choke at the worst possible time. Good luck making up that shortfall.

      Yes, allegedly $1 billion per year over the next fifteen years plus $500 million for the tolling infrastructure. However, the MTA board could override the governor if they really need the money.
