86% of NJ residents entering Manhattan use transit. Transit improvements aren't just for NYC residents — they're for everyone who spends time in the city.
"This thoughtful, expertly designed, decades-in-the-making policy will benefit the entire region."

Congestion pricing begins in New York, a US first
Overcoming opposition, the plan to toll drivers entering Manhattan's central business district went into effect Sunday. Revenues will go to the transit authority's capital investments.

This idea that Dems need a new generation of strategists is pundit-brained nonsense.
They have one. There are sharp 25-45 year old staffers all around the country.
Just because cable TV and certain big campaigns keep going back to the same wells doesn't mean there aren't other options out there.
