Congestion pricing is moving full speed ahead for a Jan. 5 start, Gov. Kathy Hochul declared Thursday – as critics blasted her for repeatedly touting “40%” in savings to a toll that never even kicked off in the first place.

Hochul has been under pressure from transit advocates, environmental groups and supportive lawmakers to revive the toll since she spiked it in June.

The governor is renewing plans to start the tolling program, but at discounted rates. It is not clear whether the lower tolls could generate the $15 billion needed for mass transit repairs.
