Congestion pricing hearings begin

The New York City Council began hearings on congestion pricing on Monday, but did not vote on the plan.
Several members questioned its fairness, according to Bloomberg News.
For the plan to become law, the state Legislature and the City Council must approve it. And for New York to receive $354 million in federal funds to pay for mass transit improvements, the lawmakers must act by April 7.
The state Senate and Assembly took up discussion on Monday.
Sixty percent of New Yorkers would approve of congestion pricing provided the revenues are used to improve mass transit, according to a Quinnipiac University poll.
