Referred to the House Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure.
This resolution is a nonbinding statement by the House of Representatives expressing opposition to New York Citys Central Business District Tolling Program and urging state and federal actors to halt its implementation and share an economic impact report. It does not change federal or state law and cannot by itself stop the toll program. The resolution offers recommendations and opinions but has no legal force to require action by New York or federal agencies. Any actual change to the tolling program would need to come from state decisions, federal law, or court action.
As a simple House resolution, it needs approval only in the House of Representatives, does not go to the Senate or the President, and is not legally binding.
This House resolution expresses opposition to New York City’s Central Business District Tolling Program (congestion pricing).
It cites potential charges up to $23 per day, projected $1 billion annual revenue for the MTA, and alleged burdens on commuters, students, low-income families, and small businesses.
The resolution (1) disapproves of the program, (2) urges New York to produce and publish an economic impact report, and (3) urges federal agencies and New York to halt implementation.
House resolutions are non‑binding and do not become law; passage would only be a chamber expression.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill functions as a conventional nonbinding House resolution that clearly states opposition and associated concerns but provides limited operational detail for the recommendations it advances.

Progressives emphasize transit funding and climate benefits
Likely opposes the resolution because congestion pricing funds transit and reduces emissions.
Supports studying equity impacts, but would reject blocking the program without mitigation.
Wants revenue dedicated to transit and protections for low-income people.
Mixed view: recognizes congestion pricing’s potential to fund transit and reduce traffic, but shares concerns about burdens on commuters and small businesses.
Views the call for an economic impact report as reasonable.
Would prefer targeted mitigations and phased implementation rather than an outright halt.
Likely strongly supports the resolution.
Emphasizes tolling as a burdensome, regressive cost on commuters and small businesses.
Wants implementation halted until thorough economic impacts are disclosed and alternative approaches considered.
