I’ve said for years that there’s no smarter big-city public policy than congestion pricing and that New York is the place where congestion pricing can do the greatest good. Our combination of hellish traffic, excellent but underfunded transit to the central core, and commuters who place great value on driving guarantees it.

The news that Gov. Hochul is considering delaying congestion pricing will come as a shock not only to many New Yorkers, but to Gov. Hochul herself, who has been touting the central business tolling plan as "powerful" and "transformative" for the city.

Fines against unauthorized moped dealers would be doubled under a just-passed state Senate bill that is expected to also pass the Assembly and make its way to the Governor's desk before the end of the legislative session at the end of the month.

Gov. Hochul signaled her support on Thursday for reauthorizing the city's tiny red light camera program — but stopped short of calling for an expansion of the decades-old program.

Higher fines for covering a plate and for not paying tolls are part of the budget deal inked on Saturday.

The bill, though imperfect, has been four years in the making.

The omnipresent Assembly member has said that e-bikes constitute a singular threat — but the real threat is ... the Assembly member.

Mayor Adams surrounded himself with delivery workers on Monday, yet declared "off topic" two of our questions ... about delivery workers.

Even after lawmakers watered it down, the Assembly won't back it in the budget.
