Better roads are just around the corner with congestion pricing launching this Sunday, Jan. 5.
2️⃣ days until #CongestionPricing comes to NYC!

.@GovKathyHochul said she paused #CongestionPricing because of lingering pandemic effects — "but investing in transit ... is exactly what our region needs to continue to recover."

Good news: public transit funding is on the rise in NY state, in part because of future #CongestionPricing revenue and the 2021 IIJA, @regionalplan analysis found. Read the full findings:

RPA is at City Hall this morning to support #CityOfYes for Housing Opportunity!
The MTA just approved congestion pricing for NYC! It will improve transit, reduce traffic, clean the air and make streets safer. I have been working on this for the past 20 years with some amazing colleagues — this feels like a real milestone!

Congestion pricing's delay is officially stopping important work on capital projects - per the MTA Capital Committee presentation today.
We've been raising this alarm for 2+ years - the COVId-19 delays + CP delays are severely damaging to the MTA's ability to fix the system.

NYC could lose much needed transit improvements if #congestionpricing isn't implemented in a timely manner.
RPA and @FundTransitNow released maps of at-risk projects across the boroughs. See maps for all boroughs:

As a union household, this one hurts! We need congestion pricing so teachers and students can get to school on time. So disappointing @UFT
Today, our union, along with teachers who work at schools in Manhattan and the Bronx as well as Staten Island Borough President @SIBPVito, filed a federal lawsuit asking the court to halt the implementation of congestion pricing in Manhattan.
Exciting!
Incredible footage! @SouthForkWind's 1st turbine is up & running & providing clean power to NY! NYLCV Pres @JulieTighe17 along w/ state leaders joined the project's developers @OrstedUS & @EversourceCorp for an up-close look at the what is the start of a new era of clean energy!

Congestion pricing isn't just going to reduce gridlock and ensure our children can breathe cleaner air.
It's going to help us invest in century-old public transit system so it's ready to serve New Yorkers for the next century to come.

Congestion pricing is more than just a traffic reduction program. It’s everyone’s #RouteForward to more accessible transportation, safer streets for a city on the move, and cleaner air from less traffic pollution.
Great new congestion pricing ads from EDF! @FundTransitNow

ICYMI yesterday. Congestion pricing = better trains and buses, less pollution, safer streets. @FundTransitNow

Fare increases and service cuts for NJ Transit would drive riders away in droves, @Zoe_transpo told @northjersey. "When you disinvest in those systems, it makes the service useless, so people abandon it."
