NYPLI Joins Coalition Letter Which Urges Governor Hochul To Advance Congestion Pricing
November 13, 2024CLCPA, Climate and Energy Justice, Congestion Pricing
New York Lawyers for the Public Interest (NYLPI) signed the Congestion Pricing Now Coalition's letter to Governor Kathy Hochul, urging her and New York State leadership to advance the program as soon as possible.
"We write today as a group of elected leaders and environmental, civic, transit, business, disability, and climate justice organizations who care deeply about the future of New York.
We are grateful to hear media reports that you plan to turn on New York's congestion pricing program.
Not advancing congestion pricing will result in disastrous consequences for transportation in the New York metropolitan region, threaten jobs, jeopardize a system that New Yorkers rely on for an affordable city, and raise major questions about the state's commitment to its accessibility, environmental justice and climate goals."
