Congestion pricing is staying put today -- hours before a federal deadline was set to take effect before the Trump administration pushed it back 30 days.
Gov. Kathy Hochul was in New York City touting the improvements the city has seen -- including improved air quality, less traffic and a drop in crime.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority also reported $50 million in revenue from the program in the first month alone.
"We have the world-class public system, but we need to keep it world class by raising the revenues to invest in it as well, that is essential," said Hochul.
