Congestion charges
Count me among the skeptical about the Mayor’s plan for a “congestion fee” in Manhattan. (Aside: Other aspects of the environmental plan are quite good/interesting)
One of the proposals tied to the “Congestion Fee” would be to use the funds raised on public transportation.
Color me skeptical, but since public transportation falls under the MTA, an agency not known for its fiscal accuracy or efficiency (to say the least).
Secondarily, while Bloomberg’s proposals are of interest–how are they going to be paid for?
(Sorry…but someone had to ask)
