Oh Behave! NYC Congestion Pricing Plan Put on Hold Indefinitely

Groovy Announcement by Governor Hochul

So it seems like Gov. Hochul has decided to "pause" the NYC congestion pricing plan indefinitely. Oh do I detect some shagadelic concerns about the timing and the state of the city's post pandemic recovery? It's all about preventing those "unintended consequences," baby!

Bummer for the Cash Strapped MTA

Well the MTA was probably counting on a massive $15 billion windfall with this plan but alas it seems like they'll have to wait a bit longer to fill up those coffers. No gold member status for them yet!

Mayor Eric Adams Shagalicious Supporter

It looks like Mayor Adams is all for analyzing other options to generate capital without making life too groovy for the people. Yeah baby let's make sure it's not an undue burden and not a mojo killer for the city's recovery!

Congestion Pricing Baby!

How will this whole congestion pricing thing work? Well it seems like anyone driving into the Central Business District (CBD) is going to have to fork over some cash. Talk about making driving in Manhattan more expensive than a cryogenic freezing!

Discounts and Exemptions Yeah Baby!

Hey if you're a low income driver or you come in from one of the tunnels you might get a little break on those tolls. But hey no discounts for those who live the high life in Manhattan or drive electric vehicles I suppose.

Until Next Time Congestion Pricing!

Well it seems like the congestion pricing plan has hit a bit of a roadblock (pun intended). The webinars are on hold the drivers are spared...for now. Who knows maybe one day we'll all be paying gold member prices just to drive into Manhattan.
