This week’s court ruling that the federal government’s attempt to end congestion pricing was illegal is a major win for the environment and the quality of life in New York City. Congestion pricing is already delivering huge results: cleaner air, shorter commutes, faster buses, and a more efficient city. And, critically, it’s generating billions of dollars in funding to improve the public transit system that so many New Yorkers and others in the region rely on. We salute Governor Hochul for her leadership and for demonstrating that when New York leads with vision, we can deliver big change for our communities and our future.
NYLCV is the only statewide environmental organization in New York that fights for clean water, clean air, renewable energy and open space through political action. We're non-partisan, pragmatic and effective.
