New York Advocates Respond to Congestion Pricing Victory
Albany, NY — Today, Environmental Advocates NY released the following statement after a federal judge ruled in favor of the MTA, saying the Trump administration’s moves to stop congestion pricing were illegal:
“Congestion pricing is here to stay. It’s a win-win-win for New Yorkers — less traffic, better transit, cleaner air — and it’s already delivering, raising over $560 million in its first year for transit. When you design policy with real-world guardrails and have the backbone to see it through, New Yorkers win,” said Vanessa Fajans-Turner, Executive Director of Environmental Advocates NY.
Environmental Advocates NY is New York’s leading environmental watchdog, working for over 50 years to advance strong environmental laws and hold decision-makers accountable.
