Statement from Carlo A. Scissura Regarding the Biden Administration’s Decision to Advance New York City’s Congestion Pricing Plan

“The New York Building Congress applauds the Biden Administration’s advancement of congestion pricing by allowing the State to proceed with the environmental assessment and public outreach,” said Carlo A. Scissura, President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “This is a critical moment to revitalize our transportation system and spur New York City’s economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Expected to raise more than $1 billion annually, congestion pricing will help reduce traffic, improve air quality, create jobs and increase the reliability and accessibility of our transit network.”
