How will the proposed congestion pricing system have an effect on outer borough commuters, as explained by M.T.A. official Janno Lieber?
According to Janno Lieber, the M.T.A.’s interim president, a proposed congestion pricing system would likely have a greater effect on outer borough commuters who cannot bike, subway or take the bus exclusively since they would need to shell out more money for tolls. Despite acknowledging the potential negative outcomes for outer-borough commuters, Lieber suggested that the greater goal of creating a financially sustainable transportation system may overrule any short-term effects.
