They will not interview the kids walking to school who are now less likely to get hit in a crosswalk or get asthma, or the mom who no longer has to haul her baby’s stroller up the stairs because the train elevator finally works or the 90% of people who do not drive to the zone.

86% of ALL trips in and out of Manhattan's CBD are via transit. Everyone benefits from #CongestionPricing — especially transit riders. We're so close to having this program become a reality. rpa.org/news/lab/remin…

Great news for everyone who hates the terrible traffic in NYC and wants to see investments to improve our subways, buses and trains!

The very welcome & frequently missing official statement that fewer cars = a better city. Not hearing that from Hochul or Adams

Congestion Pricing is in effect today. As of January 5, 2025, vehicles entering the Congestion Relief Zone in Manhattan—local streets and avenues at or below 60 Street—will be charged a toll. More via MTA, incl. information on discounts and exemptions: congestionreliefzone.mta.info

A 🧵: Hey friends/colleagues in NYC journalism - If you only interview drivers about congestion pricing, & not the NYers who have no choice but to take subways & buses to work everyday, are you really doing a good job reporting on the full scope of this new policy? On the Media

.The Brian Lehrer Show and A Daily Politics Podcast Your questions on congestion pricing frame the issue as one that only affects drivers.

Key difference is that Routes 1-5 are within the congestion zone, while the bridge/tunnel routes just enter it. Why does it matter? It matters because of taxis and for-hire vehicles (FHVs - Uber and Lyft). These vehicles, by their nature, enter the area and take many trips there.

NYC Transit needs to be better at adapting bus schedules. It took them months to adjust the M14 schedules to account for faster travel after they instituted the 14th Street Busway. We can't really afford to take months to adjust bus schedules to account for congestion pricing.

It only took 3 days for New York to warm up to the benefits of congestion pricing after years of being propagandized by the dumbest and/or most self-serving political influencers in the state… we need to find ways to be louder than them if we wanna get things done quicker

The reduction in noise pollution is such a welcome outcome. I never realized how much agitation I got from just being outside in a traffic mess.

Based on population, Rockland County contributes precisely its fair share to the the MTA Capital Plan - a little more than 2%. This includes interest on the debt. David Lombardo please call out Rockland politicians who falsely claim there's a "huge deficit"! capntransit.blogspot.com/2012/03/about-…

Among those who've started commuting by subway as a result of congestion pricing: the Midtown diner owner who nearly convinced Kathy Hochul to kill the toll entirely. It takes him about 25 min from Astoria. apnews.com/article/mta-co…
