Our transit system is
in full blown crisis.
We need congestion
pricing to help The Bronx
What are the benefits of
congestion pricing?
Congestion pricing reduces traffic, cuts air pollution, and increases
funding for public transportation. The plan is to charge vehicles entering
Manhattan below 60th Street at certain times, and use the revenue for
transit improvements across NYC.
Here's what's at stake:
More reliable train service on the 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, B, and D lines
180 subway stations fully ADA accessible with elevators
Metro-North service directly into Penn Station with new stations in Hunts
Point, Parkchester, Morris Park and Co-op City
Up to 1.5 hours a week in time saved for express bus riders
More than 3,000 new subway cars on the tracks
