There are 14 days left to win congestion pricing. After that, NYC takes pass on $354 million provided by the federal government to cover the transit expansion and start-up costs necessary to put pricing in place. We need dozens of organizers to join our on-street letter writing campaign. From Flatbush to Broadway to Steinway to Fordham Road, our teams will make this last critical push to put constituents in touch with as-yet undecided elected officials. We will pay $15 per hour. Help put pricing over the top and set the green street revolution in motion.
