Statement from Ken Lovett, Senior Advisor to the MTA Chairman and CEO, on Congestion Pricing

“Like the Governor and other leaders who got it passed, we believe the Central Business District Tolling Program will be a huge environmental benefit for the region while also providing a major boost to mass transit — and we’re working hard to implement it as soon as possible. But it’s important to remember the project was delayed 20 months by the previous federal administration. To its credit, the Biden administration on March 30 directed us to conduct an Environmental Assessment process with robust public outreach. Since then, we have been in deep, detailed and productive discussions with the Federal Highway Administration over exactly what that entails. We will move forward on a timeline that meets all requirements set out for us."
