Governor Kathy Hochul said on Thursday the Biden administration is seeking changes in a long-planned congestion pricing plan for New York City that could further delay implementation of a system designed to reduce traffic in Manhattan and provide funding to improve mass transit.
In March 2021, the U.S. Transportation Department's Federal Highway Administration said the plan to use tolls to manage traffic in central Manhattan would face an expedited environmental review, after the Trump administration did not act on it.
"We gave our comments to them months ago. We pretty much have gotten a path forward or a resolution on almost every single one of them," Pollack said, saying the agency will work "to get this done by whatever time it's important" to the state, city and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority , which operates New York City's subway system and buses, as well as its two commuter rail lines.
The MTA would receive 80% of the congestion fees after costs of operating the program to be used to improve the city's subways and buses, with 10% each going to the Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad commuter train lines.
