Streetsblog is evaluating candidates' positions on urban mobility issues, including congestion pricing in NYC. The questionnaire assesses their responses through expert grading on the feasibility of their proposals. Scott Stringer's insights emphasize the need for reliable public transport improvements, particularly addressing the inadequacies of subway and bus services, while acknowledging the financial benefits of congestion pricing. His historical advocacy and documented survey findings underscore the impact of transit delays on residents' daily lives, aligning with the movement towards more sustainable urban transportation solutions.
I have been an advocate for congestion pricing models since hosting the City Transit Expo in 2006. The toll is working and contributing extra funds towards the ultimate solution to car dominance, making transit more reliable and safe.
Unreliable service on the subway drove people to above-ground transit, however, the buses are even worse. NYC's bus system is one of the slowest in the country, does not operate 24/7, and city residents can't rely on it.
