Congestion pricing advocates say Gov. Hochul's pause breaks MTA's promise to add elevators to 95% of stations.
NEW YORK -- A rally was held in Brooklyn On Wednesday calling for Gov. Kathy Hochul to restart the congestion pricing program in order to fund vital MTA projects, like making subway stations more accessible.
With the majority of stations still lacking elevators, advocates say tens of thousands of New Yorkers struggle to use the system or can't use it at all.'It's hard to get in and out of the subway without the elevator,' one rider said.'I can't walk up steps anymore. I can't stand for long periods of time,' rider George Bettman said.'The elevators, most of them are not working. I have to go up stairs. I have a disability,' rider Glen Baksh added.
