Mayor Adams praises Hochul on congestion pricing, insists NYC safe from Trump blowback
Mayor Eric Adams on Tuesday hailed Gov. Kathy Hochul for resurrecting the city’s hated congestion pricing plan — and insisted the Big Apple is safe from potential blowback by President-elect Donald Trump.
“When you’re a leader, you make tough decisions,” Adams said of Hochul’s revival of the wildly unpopular new commuter tax — which Trump has already vowed to “terminate” in his first week in the White House.
Under the plan, which the Democratic governor paused before the November election — then announced it was back on the table barely a week afterward — cars entering Manhattan below 60th Street will be charged a $9 toll starting next year.
The toll will jump to $12 by 2028 and spike to the originally planned $15 after 2031.
Trump has also maligned the plan by calling it a “business killer.”
