NEW YORK—After weeks of vowing to pursue legal action if congestion pricing in New York City did not go into effect by June 30 as scheduled, supporters of the policy have now filed two lawsuits against Gov. Kathy Hochul for having placed a pause on it.
The two lawsuits accuse the governor of flouting the 2019 MTA Reform and Traffic Mobility Act, impeding the curbing of greenhouse gas emissions, and violating citizens’ constitutional right to a healthy urban environment with fresh, breathable air.
