Orphan Road

I didn't blog much about New York's remarkable congestion pricing plan ($8 to enter the city below 60th St.), but now that it's been killed by Democrats in NY's state assembly, it's worth reading this post-mortem on Grist.

Elsewhere, Knute Berger cautions Puget Sound lawmakers against following NYC down this particular rabbit hole. As I've said before, there's a continuum of possibilities between tolling specific bridges to raise revenue and using pricing as a way to manage demand and fund transit. Some are more politically feasable than others.
