After three years and a pandemic, New York finally got to look at the MTA’s Environmental Assessment (EA) for its darling—the Central Business District (CBD) Tolling Plan[...]
Sadly, despite the length, the MTA did the bare minimum to assess the impacted areas. Insultingly, moreover, they settled upon a tolling plan that is little more than a greenwashed extortion scheme on our communities of color. Rather than a congestion toll, they should have called it the “Black and Brown Toll,” and I can’t stress how awful this really is, nor my opposition, hard enough.
I was disappointed, but unsurprised, when the MTA’s brain trust delivered an EA that barely accounts for our communities. We, people of color, are New York’s unsung, underpaid heros; we keep this city running for a pittance. Some of us have to drive to work because we don’t have access to public transit and for some of us, drivingour work.
