Pat Ryan: “This budget deals with the world as it is now and as it will be in the future.”

The MTA is rolling out what I think is an unfair, uninformed, and unacceptable congestion pricing plan.

I recognize the economic potential that can be unlocked by having strong airport infrastructure not just at the very biggest, most famous global airports, but the ones that really matter to regions.

I want to also just emphasize again, from my and my district's perspective, the rail safety issue, to commend you and your team already for the work.

As you might imagine, the congestion pricing conversation is very much on the minds of my constituents who, along with me, are, frankly, very upset--I would say furious--over this plan.
