This comes in the wake of Paterson's meeting with Mayor Bloomberg at City Hall earlier in the week, after which the governor declined to outright endorse the pay-to-drive plan, raising speculation that it might get lost in the transition in Albany. "Congestion pricing addresses two urgent concerns of the residents of new York City and its suburbs: The Need to reduce congestion on our streets and roads, and thereby reduce pollution, and the need to raise significant revenue for mass transit improvement," Paterson said." Paterson also said that by introducing the bill, the City Council and the Legislature will be able to "examine the details" and "make an informed judgment" going forward.

Gov. David Paterson's press office just announced that he has submitted a program bill that follows the recommendations of the Traffic Mitigation Commission's Jan. 31 report.

This comes in the wake of Paterson's meeting with Mayor Bloomberg at City Hall earlier in the week, after which the governor declined to outright endorse the pay-to-drive plan, raising speculation that it might get lost in the transition in Albany.

"Congestion pricing addresses two urgent concerns of the residents of new York City and its suburbs: The Need to reduce congestion on our streets and roads, and thereby reduce pollution, and the need to raise significant revenue for mass transit improvement," Paterson said."

Paterson also said that by introducing the bill, the City Council and the Legislature will be able to "examine the details" and "make an informed judgment" going forward.
