Congestion pricing passes

The New York City Council approved congestion pricing tonight. Now it is up to Albany.
Here is what Mayor Michael Bloomberg had to say:
“It has the support of New York City’s organized labor leaders, who today strongly urged quick action on congestion pricing.
“It has the endorsement of business groups and newspaper editorial pages across the state who have urged Albany to enact this piece of legislation which will give us $354 million in federal money and a recurring, dependable source of funds to work on mass transit improvements which we sorely need in this city.
“And also to improve the quality of air that we and our children are breathing and to help unclog a city that is really getting stifled by the inability to get across town in the business day from one side to the other.”
