How you can show your support for congestion pricing

Right now, the MTA is collecting public comments on congestion pricing. Here’s why you should care:

  • The MTA is reviewing all comments — and we need to make our voices heard. We know a minority of New Yorkers who oppose congestion pricing are working overtime to curtail the program.

  • This is why we need to submit clear comments: Congestion pricing now with no exemptions. Each new exemption will lead to higher tolls for everybody else.

  • The future of New York City depends on the future of congestion pricing. Congestion pricing means faster buses, cleaner air, fewer cars, and safer streets.

  • Congestion pricing will fund much-needed upgrades to our transit system, including the Second Avenue subway, the Interborough Express, train and subway station accessibility projects, new subway signals, and more.
