UFT statement on revival of congestion pricing plan

"Our lawsuit against congestion pricing continues. Today's announcement changes nothing - pollution and traffic congestion will be worse in the poor, working- and middle-class neighborhoods of the city, and these same families are still being asked to shoulder the cost. No one disputes that New York needs to invest in public transit. But doing it on the backs of the working people of New York City is wrong, and tone deaf."

- UFT President Michael Mulgrew
