On the one-year anniversary of congestion pricing on Monday, Gov. Kathy Hochul declared that the program has yielded “extraordinary” results in reduced traffic and increased economic activity, “beyond what we could have expected.”
The governor, during a Monday afternoon news conference in Manhattan, stood alongside MTA Chair and CEO Janno Lieber and Mayor Zohran Mamdani. She lauded congestion pricing as a success in reducing car traffic, cutting air pollution, promoting the local economy, and generating vital funding for public transit.
