New York Senator James Skoufis says congestion pricing isn't fair for New Yorkers in "transit deserts"
Manage episode 450242061 series 1853180
Governor Kathy Hochul is reviving the MTA’s congestion pricing plan to toll vehicles entering New York City south of 60th Street. The governor is cutting the toll rate – from the $15 dollars previously approved by the state and federal government to $9 dollars. And while some transit advocates are hailing the Governor’s decision to end her pause on the program’s implementation, there’s been longstanding bipartisan criticism of the tolling program from suburban elected officials.
Democratic State Senator James Skoufis represents the state’s 42nd Senate district in Orange County. He talked with WNYC's Janae Pierre more about what congestion pricing means for New Yorkers.
