Assembly Member Bobby Carroll, one of the staunchest supporters of congestion pricing, is upset because the governor's plan won't raise nearly enough money for transit.
Hundreds of thousands of low-income New Yorkers stand to benefit from new transit funding, compared to just 5,000 who might pay tolls to car commute under the Move NY plan.
The mayor's ideas have been tried before, without success. But even if the plan works as intended, the effect would be tiny because it doesn't attempt to reduce traffic volumes.
Assembly Democrats are meeting today to discuss their priorities for next year's legislation session, and StreetsPAC is asking New Yorkers to call their legislators and urge them to sign on to the Move NY toll reform plan.
