Kathy Hochul of New York resurrected congestion pricing last week, delighting transportation and environmental advocates eager for the benefits the plan promises, from less traffic and fresher air to improvements to mass transit.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But her efforts also renewed the entrenched opposition to the policy \u2014 which includes the incoming U.S. president, congressional Republicans and even the Democratic governor of New Jersey \u2014 and could hurt her chances of re-election.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The board of the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, the state agency that will operate the toll program, approved the plan on Monday in a 12-to-1 vote. It will charge most drivers $9 to enter the busiest part of Manhattan and is expected to start in early January.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Governor Hochul <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/06\/05\/nyregion\/congestion-pricing-pause-hochul.html\" title=\"\">sidelined congestion pricing<\/a> in June because she said she feared its economic impact on New Yorkers. But the policy also threatened to harm the political fortunes of her fellow Democrats during congressional elections earlier this month. About two-thirds of New York State residents who responded to <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/scri.siena.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/SNY-April-2024-Poll-Release-FINAL.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">a Siena College survey in April<\/a> said they opposed the program.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Now, the re-emergence of congestion pricing, with the toll lowered from $15 to $9, has predictably angered Republicans, who are already eying the governor\u2019s race in 2026. Among the loudest voices is Representative Mike Lawler, who represents a district in the New York suburbs and is rumored to be considering a run for governor. He released an ad in recent days targeting the toll plan and Governor Hochul.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">And while many Democrats in New York City have cheered the return of congestion pricing, which would be the first program of its kind in the nation, some suburban Democrats have shown frustration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2024\/11\/18\/nyregion\/congestion-pricing-vote-mta.html\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gov.
