State of New York — Congestion Pricing

Tom Wright, Brigid Bergin, Nicole Gelinas, Errol Louis and 92NY CEO Seth Pinsky

Oct 22, 2024


Congestion pricing in New York City was set to be the first of its kind in the United States, aiming to reduce traffic in the most congested areas of Manhattan and generate revenue for public transit improvements. Cities like London, Stockholm, and Singapore have implemented similar systems which have reduced traffic up to 30%, improved public transportation systems and increased cleaner air quality.

Despite the positive aspects that congestion pricing promised, including more funds for an ailing public transportation system, it was met with fierce opposition — including New York Governor Kathy Hochul who in June announced an “indefinite pause” on the program. Join Tom Wright, President and Chief Executive Officer of Regional Plan Association, for a conversation on what’s next for congestion pricing in NYC.
