Take Action for a Cleaner NYC!

New York City is plagued by bad traffic and poor air quality. Luckily, congestion pricing can help NYC!

Congestion pricing offers solutions to NYC's transportation system based on a cleaner, healthier city. The Commission charged with addressing NYC's traffic and health problems approved a historic plan to implement a congestion pricing proposal.

Send an email today! The City Council and State Legislature now must take the Commission's vote and make congestion pricing a reality. Urge your elected officials to vote in favor of a sustainable NYC.

Dear [ Decision Maker ],

(Edit Letter Below)

New York City is growing by a million people and we must maintain and expand our infrastructure in order to accommodate that growth. The New York City transit system already has a $30 billion investment backlog, and our bad air quality is harming our children's health. Congestion pricing offers New York City a blueprint for growth based on clean, healthy transportation.

The recently released Traffic Mitigation Commission congestion pricing plan begins the process of establishing a final plan.  Please make sure that any final plan meets the following criteria:

1. Reduces traffic in the Central Business District (CBD) and outside of the CBD by reducing through-traffic destined for the CBD from Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx and northern Manhattan-areas with the City's highest asthma rates.

2. Guarantees that the estimated $500 million in annual revenue will be invested in transit enhancements and expansion

3. Improves air quality through the reduction of harmful emissions associated with cars and trucks

Implementing congestion pricing is a bold and historic step toward preparing New York City for a future of healthy growth and sustainability.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
