It's probably the right thing to do, from visiting NYC it seemed to me that people driving in was creating enourmous negative externalities, though I'm sure there's positives as well. I hope that they use some of that money to improve public transport options though... We were staying in Montclair, a stone's throw from a train station, and trying to use public transport to get to and from NYC was flabbergasting. Some days it was just effectively impossible. I realised how spoilt I've been living where I am (Victoria, Australia). The regional services into and out of Melbourne here are excellent by comparison, and we have waaaay less population density outside of the city. And NYC is famous in America for its public transport!l infrastructure! Apologies if the article addresses how the money will be spent, I couldn't open it directly or via any of the archive links provided, so I am just bouncing of the title and my own strong impressions from my visit.
