FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: May 5, 2023

“For years, we’ve worked to find a way to reinvest in our mass transit system, help clean our air and improve street safety in some of the busiest corridors — congestion pricing is the common sense solution we’ve been waiting for,” said Carlo A. Scissura, Esq., President and CEO of the New York Building Congress. “Today’s notice from the federal government affirms how congestion pricing can improve the lives of everyday New Yorkers and unlock the capital funding we need to improve our city’s infrastructure for generations to come.”
