As Bill Clinton says, "The longer I'm stuck in traffic, the more I like congestion pricing." Congestion pricing means cleaner air, funding for mass transit, and less traffic. It worked in London!
Take a minute and email your Assembly Member and State Senator to tell them to support a greater, greener New York! Here's a page you can do it from:

- UPDATE (7/20):
After marathon negotiations, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg and state leaders reached a landmark agreement on congestion pricing. Yesterday, Governor Eliot Spitzer, Speaker Sheldon Silver and Majority Leader Joseph Bruno agreed to authorize implementation of a meaningful congestion reduction plan for New York City.
"To their credit, all the legislators who weighed in along the way deserve our thanks for staying at the negotiating table," said Andy Darrell, Living Cities director at Environmental Defense and a member of the Mayor's Sustainability Advisory Council. "The agreement reached greatly boosts New York's chances to be a top contender for $500 million in federal funds."
