Congestion pricing is increasingly recognized as a viable solution to urban traffic issues, gaining traction as public opinion shifts in its favor. The latest Siena College poll from New York reveals a striking rise in support for the $9 toll, jumping from 29% to 39% in under five months. Despite organized opposition, including significant critiques from the Trump administration, the trend indicates that initial backlash may subside once such pricing is in place, leading to a more favorable view among residents and commuters alike.
"Congestion pricing plans tend to find themselves in peril just before they launch, yet after implementation, there's often a surge in public acceptance."
"In New York City, the latest polls indicate a notable shift with 39% of voters now supporting congestion pricing, reflecting a 20-point rise in just four months."
