More mass transit riders. About 300,000 more people rode the city subways each day last year than in 2024, an 8.9 percent increase. Ridership is also up on New York City’s buses — which are moving more quickly now — and on suburban railroads. #CongestionPricing

I used a car in #Portland today, to go about 11-12 miles and back... does anybody think it might be worth some #congestionPricing to make it so people driving could reliably average over 15mph? No? "Just jam every street full of cars until nothing works, and repeat again daily until the rapture […]

In a time when climate wins feel fragile, NYC's congestion pricing program is a shining success.
People are breathing better, moving faster, and live well, thanks to #CongestionPricing
Matt's Weather Rapport: Trump and his minions HATE New York City's #congestionpricing. It's one of those weird things he's fixated on. The saga goes on. Details: matttsweatherrapport.blogspot.com/2026/03/trum...
The decision on #congestionpricing “ends, for now, a heated battle between Gov. Kathy Hochul, who has become a staunch defender of the program, and the White House, which has claimed, without offering evidence, that it would harm the region’s economy.”

“New York can fix our energy system, protect our wallets & show the nation what real leadership looks like,” writes NYLCV President in Empire Report op-ed.

These bus riders of all shapes and colors had an unusual morning. Side note: To Zohran's left is Janno Lieber, head of the MTA (state agency). Nothing but good things to say about his stewardship. Big backer of #congestionpricing.
