Congestion pricing panned

New Yorkers think traffic is a problem, but congestion pricing? Forget about it.
That’s the finding of a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
“As on so many city questions, congestion pricing is Manhattan against everybody else,” said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute. “Most New Yorkers say it would impose an unfair charge on outer-borough drivers.”
Here were the findings:
Manhattan voters support congestion pricing 62 to 29 percent.
But the voters in the other boroughs were unanimously against:
67 to 26 percent in the Bronx
63 to 29 percent in Brooklyn
61 to 32 percent in Queens
69 to 26 percent in Staten Island.
By a 3 to 1 margin, New York City voters say they use mass transit to travel in and out of Manhattan.
