New Yorkers on board with pause on Hochul’s indefinite delay on congestion pricing

Nearly half of New Yorkers are on board with Gov. Kathy Hochul’s (D-NY) indefinite pause on congestion pricing, but they may not feel the same about the governor herself, according to a new poll.

A Siena College Research Institute poll found that 45% of registered voters in New York were on board with the pause in congestion pricing, while 23% said they opposed the governor’s move. Earlier this month, Hochul “indefinitely paused” congestion pricing that was supposed to go into effect June 30 on those who drive below 60th Street in Manhattan.
