I’m Walkin’ Here! A Report Card on Congestion Pricing
In January, congestion pricing went into effect in New York City. The policy’s implementation took decades; along the way, multiple moments suggested that it wouldn’t happen at all. Now, drivers entering Manhattan south of 60th Street during peak hours are required to pay a toll. Meanwhile, other cities like San Francisco are considering a similar initiative. But Trump opposes New York’s plan. Governor Hochul and state policy leaders encountered a political quagmire pushing the plan through. And its future is only certain up until around next fall, when legal proceedings are expected to come to a resolution.
So, is congestion pricing making a worthwhile difference? How do New Yorkers — and those traveling into Manhattan — feel about it?
Guests:
Eric A. Goldstein, Senior Attorney, Natural Resources Defense Council
Sarah M. Kaufman, Director of NYU’s Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management
Ryan Johnson, Co-Founder and CEO, Culdesac
