New York Governor Kathy Hochul is reportedly pushing for a delay in the implementation of congestion pricing in Manhattan. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has indefinitely paused the planned rollout, which was initially scheduled for June 30th. This decision appears to have originated from Governor Hochul, with multiple reports confirming the delay. The delay has sparked a mix of reactions, with some New Yorkers supporting the move and others criticizing it as a setback for necessary urban planning measures. Mayor Eric Adams' stance on the matter has also been a point of discussion.
