Colossal climate defeat buckling to very poorly evidenced political pressures. Also there’s a difference between not doing something and cancelling a policy at the very last minute — MTA has already invested millions cameras, sensors, license plate readers etc in anticipation.
Kathy Hochul’s decision to halt congestion pricing in NYC — if it holds — is a generational setback for US climate policy. It is worse than the Mountain Valley pipeline or Willow project in Alaska, and it will have lacerating national implications.

New Yorkers - write to Gov Hochul. It saves MTA, local businesses (which will be taxed due to rescinding this plan), and your air quality. Congestion pricing has worked well in all peer cities. NYC deserves better!
