Mayor Bill de Blasio again called on the state and the MTA Tuesday to speed up the planning and implementation of congestion pricing in Manhattan to limit traffic, raise funds for the mass transit system and facilitate the city’s economic comeback. 

“We’re seeing places where people just can't get where they need to get,” he said. “If we don't deal with these issues, it will stand in the way of the recovery we need.”

Congestion pricing, which has already been approved by the state, awaits federal approval, though Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has said its environmental review will be expedited. 

Yet the MTA, a state-controlled agency, has not convened a key panel tasked with overseeing congestion pricing, and has not met with counterparts at New Jersey’s transportation department, the Daily News reported. 

Congestion pricing is projected to add $15 billion to the MTA’s five-year capital plan, roughly 30% of the total. 

“If we wanna fix the horrible flooding we saw last week, if you want to fix the signals so the trains can move, if you want modern stations, this is it,” de Blasio said. 

De Blasio has said that, despite not having authority over the agency, he is trying to rally public support for congestion pricing to pressure the state.

In a statement, Ken Lovett, the senior adviser to the MTA’s top officer, called the environmental assessment “complicated,” and that the agency is “working through issues” with federal, state and city transportation departments. 

“The MTA is following that detailed process which doesn’t allow arbitrarily cutting corners,” Lovett said, adding that the agency is working to implement congestion pricing “as soon as possible.”

Representatives for Gov. Andrew Cuomo did not respond to a request for comment.
