THIS ‘CONGESTION PRICING’ PLAN COULD KILL NYC’S ECONOMY FOR GOOD

By
Post Editorial Board

at reducing traffic below 60th Street in Manhattan. EPA/ Justin Lane

Save the MTA, destroy the city? That looks to be the thinking behind the
outrageous congestion-pricing plan released this week, with utterly
mind-boggling proposed tolls.

The scheme offers a range of options, but the hit — which could come as soon as
next year — calls for slapping cars with as much as a $23 fee for the
“privilege” of driving in Manhattan south of 60th Street.

Under some scenarios, vehicles could deduct some or all of bridge and tunnel
tolls from the congestion-pricing fees. But the total $23 sum works out to $115
per week for five trips. Or $5,750 for 50 weeks a year. Truck fees are even
higher.

Are they out of their minds?

This clobbers area drivers, especially those living in the outer boroughs or
outside the city. Good-bye, return-to-your-office movement. Riders are already
avoiding mass transit, thanks to crime; now they’re supposed to avoid driving,
too, to save money?

Even Gov. Kathy Hochul, during the first gubernatorial debate this year, agreed
this is no time to impose any new fee on drivers: “This is not going to happen
in the next year under any circumstances,” she vowed, though she later largely
flipflopped under pressure.

The supposed goal is to unclog congestion on roads where average speeds have
plunged from 9.1 mph to 7.1 mph over the past decade. Yet recall what also
happened during that decade: First, the city began taking away traffic lanes in
favor of bike and bus lanes and pedestrian plazas. Then the de Blasio
administration lowered speed limits. What did they think would happen to average
traffic speeds?

Now they say this new (highly regressive) tax is the cure? Sounds like the kid
who killed his parents, then pleaded for mercy as an orphan.

What do you think? Post a comment.

Yes, the MTA needs money. But why must motorists cover all the agency’s
shortfalls? It’s not like transit workers are being asked to make concessions,
after all.

Sorry: This plan looks like a secret plot to send more New York commuters to
Florida.
