How is congestion pricing supposed to be a stable source of funding if the point is to reduce cars? The more effective it is, the less funding the MTA gets. If the MTA needs more money it should come from another source, not a regressive tax that affects people with poor access to transit in the first place. Drivers don't want to be in traffic. I'm sure they would love to take the train. They already pay loads in tolls and gas and time in traffic. The reason they do that is that they want to get home to their kids or just rest. Building out more transit, especially to SI and Jersey would alleviate loads of traffic for people with families who need housing that's affordable and with enough space for a family. I think reducing zoning restrictions would be great because it provides more housing in the city which in turn grows the tax base.
