After months of research and hearings across the city, an independent traffic commission created by the state legislature has proposed an answer to New York’s transit dilemma: a new congestion pricing plan that will:
• Cut commute times by improving mass transit service and unclogging roads
• Achieve real traffic reductions in all five boroughs
• Reduce air pollution and global warming emissions
• Create reliable revenue streams to finally get the transit system back into good repair and also fund the new transit options and system expansion we need
It’s estimated that one million new residents will move to New York City by 2030. Let’s make sure our roads and mass transit systems are ready for them.
