Until Hochul finds billions for congestion pricing funding gap, MTA to focus on ‘basic’ operations

New Yorker lawmakers ended the legislative session without plugging the MTA funding gap caused by Gov. Kathy Hochul’s abrupt cancellation of the June 30 congestion pricing launch.

The failure to act now leaves a billion dollar hole in the transit agency’s budget and further questions about how New York plans to pay for long-awaited updates to the subway system.

The lack of funding «has serious implications» for the MTA Capital Program, leadership warned late Friday.

«Until there is a commitment for funding the balance of the 2020-2024 Capital Program, the MTA will need to reorganize the Program to prioritize the most basic and urgent needs,» MTA Chief Financial Officer Kevin Willens and MTA General Counsel Paige Graves said in a joint statement.

That means improvement projects like electric buses, accessible subway stations and new signals will likely be put on hold, they added.

«New York State law places an obligation on MTA to implement a congestion pricing program, and the agency stands ready to do so. But under applicable federal law and regulation, the MTA cannot act until the Central Business District Tolling Program is approved by New York State, New York City and the federal government – and with the announcement of the pause, we no longer have the State’s consent,» the MTA leaders explained in their statement.
