Open Letter to the MTA Board on Congestion Pricing
In response to Gov Hochul’s Congestion Pricing “pause,” ETA urges the members of the MTA board to remember the independent nature of the agency, their civic responsibility to Greater New York, and their fiduciary duty to the agency they oversee.
Congestion Pricing Coalition Statement
ETA is proud to be a part of the coalition of advocates, business leaders, government watchdogs, and legal experts aiming to ensure that congestion pricing begins as originally planned in New York City.
Congestion Pricing Must Start On Time
ETA was blindsided by NY Gov Kathy Hochul’s inexplicable and senseless decision to indefinitely delay congestion pricing. Should it stand, this decision will be a catastrophe for New York. ETA urges everyone involved in New York transit to work to reverse this decision and begin congestion pricing on the date it was scheduled to begin, June 30, 2024.
