Statement from New York City Comptroller on Biden Administration’s Approval of Congestion Pricing

 

New York City Comptroller Brad Lander issued the following statement:

“President Joe Biden gave a long awaited greenlight to implement first-in-the-nation congestion pricing program that will keep New York City’s streets and subways moving for years to come. Implementing congestion pricing will fund much needed accessibility improvements and signal modernization for our beleaguered subway system that will speed up train times while unclogging gridlock on city streets. The MTA and Traffic Mobility Review Board must swiftly implement the program now to raise critical funds for our transit system.”
