Just say it targets poor minorities therefore it’s racist.
it’s highly unpopular with Gov Hochul championing it.
I assume NY’s congestion pricing plan depends on some kind of Federal aid
Otherwise, why is this a Federal issue?
Suck it libs - you wanted a bloated, printed-money, central-government apparatus. You thought wokeism would forever control the grift. Now you no longer control it.
Now get rid of HOV lanes.
DJT just made NYC a bit Redder
More common sense from this most uncommon President.
The Congestion Charge is a daily fee of £15 for driving within the Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ) between 7:00 and 18:00 on weekdays, and between 12:00 and 18:00 on weekends and bank holidays. This policy aims to reduce traffic congestion in central London.
In addition to the Congestion Charge, London enforces the Ultra Low Emission Zone (ULEZ) to combat air pollution. The ULEZ operates 24/7 and covers all of Greater London as of August 2023. Vehicles that do not meet specific emissions standards are subject to a daily charge of £12.50 for most vehicle types, or £100 for heavier vehicles, when driving within the ULEZ.
Despite these measures, London remains Europe's most congested city. In 2024, drivers spent an average of 101 hours in traffic, highlighting ongoing challenges in managing urban congestion.
In other words, it has not had a significant impact on congestion or pollution.
Just say it robs Peter (motor vehicle drivers)
to pay Paul (the wasteful, extravagent, corrupt MTA that is run so poorly that legitimate revenue (train and subway fares) has not been able to pay for the system for decades, requiring additional billions from taxpayers, which has only encourged the MTA to forget about being run well - the politicians will keep robbing the taxpayers to subsidize it).
You know my copy of the constitution doesn’t have anywhere in it the federal government authority nor mandate to regulate tolls on a individual state. This pesky document does however have a very clear written in plain English tenth amendment. That clearly shows that any power not enumerated to the federal government is the sole right of the states. If NYS elected leadership via their elected representatives passed a law and got it signed by the governor it’s not.of the Fing fedzilla’s business what they do it is NYS sovereign land and their state legislature and governorship.
I love how so called conservatives cheer when the federal government steps all over state rights when they don’t like something and scram bloody murder when the same state says hey we are sovereign and other state laws don’t apply here. <<<be glad this is true of NYS and California gun laws would be forced on you red staters it goes both ways. Goose and gander.
$9 each day? That could bankrupt people in no time. The government has made using mass transit dangerous, why should working people have to pay for the incompetence of government?
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is doing great.
