Move NY

Assembly Member Bobby Carroll, one of the staunchest supporters of congestion pricing, is upset because the governor's plan won't raise nearly enough money for transit.

A nationally respected expert says a City Council taxi bill is a springboard for a better congestion-pricing plan.

Assembly Democrats are meeting today to discuss their priorities for next year's legislation session, and StreetsPAC is asking New Yorkers to call their legislators and urge them to sign on to the Move NY toll reform plan.

It's not congestion pricing if it doesn't toll the East River bridges. There are a number of impostor policies that Cuomo could try to pass off as "congestion pricing" instead.

Andrew Cuomo ran down his list of big transportation projects in the State of the State Address yesterday, and despite the billions it will take to build everything on his agenda, the governor didn't say anything about how he'll raise the money to pay for it. He did work in a line about toll cuts for Thruway drivers, though.

Did “toll shopping” figure in the death last week of cyclist Kevin Lopez in Long Island City?

Andrew Cuomo styles himself as a guy who gets stuff done. That's what muscling through the Tappan Zee Bridge double-span boondoggle and the multi-billion dollar LaGuardia renovation is all about. But when reporters ask Cuomo about funding transit by putting a price on NYC's free bridges, he likes to portray himself as a helpless bystander, stymied by politics.

Yesterday on WCNY's "Capitol Pressroom," Susan Arbetter hosted Governor Andrew Cuomo for a discussion of the MTA capital program. Lately, the governor has been pushing City Hall to fund a greater share of the authority's investment plan. Arbetter, pressing the governor, asked a simple question: "Isn't the MTA a state entity?"
