From ABNY Chairman Steven Rubenstein "Public transit makes New York City work. Everyone from our students to our CEOs has a stake in a safe, modern and reliable transit system. ABNY has supported congestion pricing for nearly two decades, and the window to seize this opportunity and make a generational investment in our subways, buses and commuter trains is fast closing. We are pleased to see Governor Hochul is putting congestion pricing back on track. Let’s get this done as if the city’s future depends upon it. Because it does.” https://lnkd.in/d8eu-zvi
