Sen. Gounardes: Implement Congestion Pricing Before Trump Blocks Us

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: NOVEMBER 8, 2024

New York State Senator Andrew Gounardes issued the following statement today in response to news that Governor Kathy Hochul is moving to revive congestion pricing before Donald Trump takes office:

“It’s more important than ever that we start congestion pricing immediately, before Trump can block it. The time to commit to better public transit, less traffic and cleaner air is now. Trump has made clear that he wants to block funding that would better connect New Yorkers to jobs, schools and each other, and which would also protect our climate. Let's prove we're serious about investing in the infrastructure that working New Yorkers rely on and turn the cameras on.”
