The congestion pricing policy is now in the fast lane. Although not expected to go into effect before late 2023, many are already questioning the wisdom behind it.  Others are touting its potential for ushering in a new era of urban sustainability.

Join us for a lively discussion of the challenges facing the first experiment of its kind in the U.S.

  • Dan Sullivan, Director, Saving Communities
  • Dr. Aleksandr V. Gevorkyan, Professor of Economics, St. John’s University
  • Dr. Marty Rowland, Environmental Engineer, NYC Department of Parks

The panel presentations will be followed by a community Q&A.
