NYLCV President Julie Tighe said, “The Trump Administration is choosing to support gridlock over people. Blocking congestion pricing is a betrayal of New Yorkers, especially the millions of working-class people who take the buses, subways and trains every day. This program is already delivering results: shorter commutes for drivers, safer streets, and critical investments in mass transit across the region – and is gaining more public support as its benefits grow. We need the federal government to be a partner in solving congestion, not a roadblock. New Yorkers deserve relief from traffic, better transit, and cleaner air – we will keep fighting for it every day.”
NYLCV is the only statewide environmental organization in New York that fights for clean water, clean air, renewable energy and open space through political action. We're non-partisan, pragmatic and effective.
