Impact of Delayed Implementation of Congestion Pricing in New York

The chapter explores how the delay in implementing congestion pricing in New York has resulted in political conflict, overshadowing important legislative bills like the New York Heat Act. The sudden focus on congestion pricing has stalled progress on crucial environmental legislation, leading to concerns about New York's climate leadership and trust in the governor's support for climate policies. Environmental organizations have issued an open letter urging the governor to reconsider the decision and maintain the state's role in advancing climate policy.
