Here in New York, Governor Kathy Hochul is reviving the city’s congestion charge program, with the new tolls set to go into effect ahead of the inauguration of Donald Trump, who has vowed to kill the plan. The new pricing will start at $9 for most vehicles entering Lower Manhattan during peak traffic, down from the original $15 that was planned before Hochul abruptly called off the program in June. Climate activists like Fridays for Future’s Keanu Arpels-Josiah are urging Governor Hochul to put the future of New York’s youth ahead of politics.

Keanu Arpels-Josiah: “Listen to our generation, and take action on the climate crisis by also signing the Climate Superfund Act, one of the biggest pieces of climate legislation in the country, still awaiting her signature.”
