Congestion relief is making NYC more livable for all.

That’s why organizations like @ridersalliance.org, @nylpi.bsky.social, and @streetspac.org fought for years to make it a reality.

Thank you to our speakers & all who joined today’s Climate Week panel with Three Cairns Group on the success of congestion pricing.

Congestion relief is a reminder that change can take time, but with support from leaders across government, business, advocacy and more—it’s worth the wait.

The Congestion Relief Program isn’t just transforming Manhattan from 60th street and below. It’s changing our entire city for the better.

Just take it from Roger, a Queens parent who almost moved his family out of NYC if not for the safer streets this program has delivered.

‪“Neither of these reasons is likely to convince the Court” ………‬

So, uh, it certainly looks like DOJ intended to file a letter to Judge Liman in MTA v. Duffy, but….it accidentally filed a letter containing its legal advice to the Department of Transportation instead

Healthier air, lower emissions, and cleaner vehicles.

That’s what congestion relief is already delivering for New York City in just the first 100 days — and leading the way for other cities to follow.

Riders deserve a safer, more accessible and reliable transit network – not, as Lisa Daglian from @pcac.org puts it, “an aging system that still uses switches and signals from the Prohibition era, with some train cars older than my kids.” Funding the MTA is just common sense.
