“Plan prices of congestion of the New York state is a slap in the face for Americans of Workers’ Classes and small business owners,” Duffy said in the statement.
“Passengers who use the highway system for entering New York City have already funded the construction and improvement of gas taxes and other taxes. But now the program tolls leaves no free alternatives to the highway, and instead takes more money from work which would pay the transit system, not the highway. ”
Under the system, most cars enter the central business district of Manhattan – from 60. streets until the southern top of the Financial District – he had to pay a peak from 9 to 21 hours on weekdays and 9 to 21 hours on weekends.

“Today, MTA filed papers in the Federal Court to ensure that a very successful program is reduced, bringing reduced traffic and the faster travel time, and at the same time to accelerate the accelerations that are the benefits of far”, Lieber said in a statement.
The prices of congestion have suffered a fundamental federal audit and have proven its advantages, according to MTA head.
“Mysticing is after four years and 4,000 pages of the federally supervised environmental inspection – and barely three months after they have given the final permit for the crowd – completed the reverse course,” according to Lieber.
American tail. Jerry Nadler, dn.y., called the Arguments of the White House against the price of congestion “extremely sustepene and sincerely, laughter.”
“Encouragement prices have not consistently supported significant legal challenges, which has occurred to the winning in the statement until today,”, but he became immensely popular among New Yorkers, which delivered his promises – less traffic, less crashes and reduced Noise pollution, everyone contributes to safer, quiet streets. “
Head added: “Mr. President, see you in court.”
Gov. Hochul said congestion prices were nothing but success and vowed to keep him a candidate, saying that this is “the people of the Law, not the king.
“Since this first instant program came into force last month, drastically fell and passengers come to work faster than ever. Shaketa sells and turnover on the surface of local businesses,” she said in a statement.
“School buses on time come children to class, and the yellow cabin excursions have increased by 10 percent. Transit riding is up, drivers have a better experience, and support for this program is growing every day.”
