Bloomberg (via Yahoo! Finance) sums up two surveys gauging sentiment about Manhattan’s newly implemented congestion pricing program. Results of a Siena College poll released today show that statewide, opposition to the program has declined from 51 percent to 40 percent since December, while support is up slightly from 29 percent to 33 percent. Within New York City, resident support (42 percent) now outweighs opposition (35 percent).
“Still, a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday [March 5] showed 54% of New York City residents oppose congestion pricing while 41% support it. At the same time, 49% disapprove of President Donald Trump trying to end the toll compared with 45% who approve his actions, the poll found.” (TRN inserted a link in quoted text.)
