Representatives of Move NY presented March 19 before Brooklyn Community Board 6 transportation committee. The plan rebrands congestion pricing as a broader user fee to fund transit and related public benefits while seeking wider political support.
Discussion critiques a toll plan claiming regressive effects without targeted relief for low incomes. Critics note lack of commuter tax repeal, questions about fare reductions near the CBD, and no metro card integration for Staten Island ferry users, warning against purely revenue boosting without true congestion pricing benefits.
Editorial notes CB 6 backed Move NY with tolling proposals tied to MTA funding while critics urge further fact checking. Sam Schwartz promotes lower Brooklyn Queens tolls to attract support, citing $1.5 billion annual revenue for transit upgrades and a $6 billion four year rise to fill a $15 billion capital gap. Opponents like Sen Tony Avella and Assemblyman Weprin challenge the plan’s assumptions and federal tolling constraints.
