MTA officials have said they need about a year to build the necessary tolling infrastructure, which puts the plan on target to go into effect in the second quarter of 2024. "Governor Hochul is committed to implementing congestion pricing to reduce traffic, improve air quality, and support our public transit system," Hochul spokesman John Lindsay said."We’ve worked closely with partners across government and with community members over the last four years to develop a plan that will achieve these goals."The Empire State Building and tourist district are seen while a traffic jam is reported along the route to New York City on Aug.
The governor said he supports congestion pricing in principle but called New York's plan"misguided."
