After last night, there’s no more time to wait — or “pause”

Governor Hochul must turn on congestion pricing now.

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

We need action, not platitudes.

Congestion pricing revenue isn't dependant on who's in the Oval Office.

Kathy Hochul needs to support our transit system. It's time to start congestion pricing before it's too late.

[Sophie @alter_spaces]

Call!

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

Governor Hochul’s phone lines were slammed with 90-minute waits, but now it’s down to 5!

Keep the pressure on – call now and demand @GovKathyHochul start congestion pricing NOW.

This is our shot to make it happen! Don’t let it slip away.

Hi @mta and @mtaoig , is it against the law for @MTAPD officers to put up campaign signs on MTA property? Because it looks like someone with access to restricted areas did so at the Queens Midtown Tunnel (pics taken 11/6).

@NYPDTransport @NYPDnews @NYPDPBMS @NYPDQueensNorth @NYPD108Pct @nyspolice @nysdmv @nyctaxi @NYCBIC @NYCMayor @MTA @NYCSHERIFF Great! Now do outside all @Nypdnews precincts -- you'll find a lot of scofflaws there.

i can't think of a leader less equipped for this moment than @GovKathyHochul, my god

[Emily Gallagher @EmilyAssembly]

Thank you @bradhoylman and @GridlockSam!
we have an enormous amount of data proving congestion pricing is an important health and safety step for all of us— but facts & data have not been a factor in decision making regarding the “pause.”

Do you have 1-2 minutes this morning?

Send a comment in support of congestion pricing to the MTA. They are reviewing all comments — and we need to make our voices heard.

Armed police enforcement doesn't make our streets safer — and it won't make the subway safer either.

Instead of spending money on more cops, @GovKathyHochul should invest in things that *actually* keep people safe: better transit service, mental health care & affordable housing.

[Elizabeth Adams @ElizabAdams]

The idea of banning people convicted of a crime from public transit is wild — dictating who can and cannot take public transit is a dangerous precedent to set.
The whole point is that it’s public.

[Lincoln Restler @LincolnRestler]

This is not normal.

In Adams administration - Transportation experts & engineers are ignored & street safety decisions are determined based purely on politics.

Projects that would save lives are gutted because the Mayor is concerned about losing donors.

Exactly.

[big_pedestrian @big_pedestrian]

Electeds often hear from drivers who want their convenience prioritized over the lives of people on foot/bikes. The second group keeps getting killed by the first group. Should we treat concerns about being inconvenienced and concerns about being hurt or killed the same?

[Ami Dar @AmiDar]

Not antisemitic: to criticize the Israeli government, its leaders, or its policies as you would that of any other country. Israelis do this every day. Totally, hideously, 100% antisemitic: to criticize or attack Jews around the world for Israel's actions.

[Transportation Alternatives @TransAlt]

Repeated reckless drivers make our streets & our communities unsafe.

Driving a car is not a fundamental right — and when people prove they are dangerous drivers, we must hold them accountable.

DVAP can and should be a critical program for saving lives.

[Kathy Park Price @KathyParkPrice]

What do you do when elected officials are hearing from their constituents, particularly drivers, who don’t want to see these safety improvements put in place?

The last I checked, the mayor didn’t go block by block to ask if people wanted a fire station. We prioritize safety.

[Sophie @alter_spaces]

@NJTPA Begging drivers does not increase safety on our streets. Only engineering and car reduction policies will help.

[Jessie Singer @JessieSingerNYC]

Let’s be clear: It is policy decisions that allow children to be killed by cars in the most pedestrian-dense city in America.

@FocusIsFragile @MartinScopes @CMJulieWon @NYPDnews Oh, quite a few. You'll also see auto insurance fraud.
