Statement on Trump plans to terminate approval for congestion pricing

From Sara Lind, co-executive director:

"Congestion pricing has proven to be an effective solution to reduce traffic, improve air quality, and improve public transit—benefits that even those driving into Manhattan have come to appreciate. It’s a policy that works and has gained widespread public support since its implementation. The program was passed into law through democratically legitimate mechanisms, courts have repeatedly upheld congestion pricing after legal challenges, and they will do so again now. Any attempt by Donald Trump to dismantle it is not only misguided and will prove unpopular but also oversteps his legal authority. We can’t let political gamesmanship stand in the way of cleaner air, less traffic, and better transit options for New Yorkers."
