You Just Saved Congestion Pricing

Today — because you called and rallied and never stopped pushing — Governor Hochul is advancing congestion pricing, moving New York City one step closer to cleaner air, safer streets, faster buses, accessible subways, and a less congested, more resilient future. 

This is a testament to the power of community organizing and local activism.

When Governor Hochul first announced her “indefinite pause” on the program, you sprung into action — making thousands of calls, rallying on our streets, organizing press stunts, and speaking out in courtrooms and MTA meetings.

Today would not have been possible without your activism. Thank you for taking action and for your tireless dedication to making New York City’s streets livable. We’re here because of you.

The fight, however, is far from over. Donald Trump has promised to “terminate congestion pricing” in his first week back in office. We must do everything we can to safeguard congestion pricing and New York City’s future. 

And, as congestion pricing is implemented, we must push for New York to build more bike lanes, bus lanes, and car-free pedestrian space on our less congested streets. Every New Yorker deserves access to safe, affordable, and efficient transportation and the freedom to choose how they get around — and with congestion pricing, that is possible.

In solidarity,

Elizabeth Adams
Interim Co-Executive Director
