I don’t know much about NYC, much less its transit issues, but it seems like congestion pricing is only marginally popular inside the city, and unpopular in the rest of the state: https://ny1.com/nyc/all-boroughs/traffic_and_transit/2025/03...

Whether congestion pricing is welfare-positive really depends on your utility function. I think rich commuters probably like it, and poorer people who need to drive for work probably hate it. My concerns are more related to political accountability, political incentives, and discrimination against non-voters, all of which exist here.
