Truly horrible. When Kathy Hochul deigns to listen to anyone, it is to people like this killer, people who live in the suburbs and insist on driving their oversized vehicle into the densest place in America. #CongestionPricingNow

I certainly hope you are right!

Sure would be a shame if the governor's inbox was flooded with questions about #CongestionPricing.

I sure hope that they are negotiating! Any other alternative would be incredibly disheartening.

Great interactive project that shows you how your commute will suffer thanks to Hochul's decision to cancel congestion pricing and defund the MTA $16.5B

As a reminder, call Hochul today and tell her how upset you are! (518) 474-8390

We were proud to join Riders Alliance today to build a #FastBusAve!

Flatbush Avenue bus riders deserve better than 4 mph buses. We need safe streets, efficient buses, and reliable ways to get around New York City.

My colleagues counted cars to see how much congestion pricing might've made this morning (about $200,000)

“We Counted 22,252 Cars to See How Much Congestion Pricing Might Have Made This Morning -

We then came up with a ballpark figure for how much the city might have generated in an hour at those toll points.

The total? About $200k in tolls for that hour.”

A year’s worth of tolls is hard to picture. But what about an hour’s worth?

a phased ramp-up of the congestion fee, to an eventual $15, with alternative funding sources to make up the deficit in the meantime, would be acceptable. implementable compromise is favorable to a drawn out court battle that stretches into a second Trump term where the pending program dies forever.

Kathy Hochul contains multitudes. A few weeks ago, she decided that what New York City needed more of was cars. Now that the nice folks at @transalt.org were kind enough to bring a whole bunch of them to her office, she has changed her tune and refused to accept them. What gives Kathy???

When Governor Hochul paused congestion pricing, she doomed us to a NYC overrun by cars.

We tried to give her what she wants: more cars — and notes from constituents in need of clean air & accessible transit.

We were shocked that her staff refused to accept their pleas for help.
Michael Ring from Disabled in Action holds a toy car as he speaks from the podium Sign that reads Governor Hochul's agenda: No faster buses, no cleaner air, no less traffic, and no safer streets. Only more cars. People carry boxes of toy cars and try to walk into the Governor's office

A reference to the congestion pricing program that she indefinitely paused and the effect that that decision will have on the climate.

On the day that congestion pricing should've started, there's a flash flood warning in Manhattan(from a rainstorm that was undoubtedly worsened by climate change) and the arsonist herself Kathy Hochul was marching around NYC in an MTA pride t-shirt. I'm sooo tired and it isn't even Monday yet.

NYC congestion pricing was supposed to go into effect today. Let's see what Governor Kathy Hochul -- who intervened to prevent the policy leaving a multi-billion dollar hole in the MTA's budget and canceling service improvements and needed station upgrades -- is up to.

Oh. Oh no.
Screen grab from a video on the governor's own Twitter account showing her smiling and wearing an MTA Pride T-shirt (rainbow heart design with the MTA logo inside) at a Pride event. The text of the tweet is "Happy Pride, New York!" followed by a rainbow flag and the trans flag.

Do all of her advisors hate her? Why would she wear this on today of all days??

The toll so far from Kathy Hochul's #CongestionPricing reversal summed up in a single graphic, courtesy of @streetsblognyc.bsky.social. More cars on the road, more pollution in the air, more lives lost to traffic violence, more wasted time, less revenue. A dark day for NYC and the world.
