">OpEd: Brooklyn Can Turn Congestion Pricing Into A Win
- Khari Edwards
- 3 weeks ago
Brooklyn has always been a borough of resilience, innovation, and community. As the MTA prepares to roll out its Congestion Pricing Program in January 2025, Brooklynites are facing yet another challenge that we can transform into an opportunity. While many see this program as a way to keep people out of Manhattan, I see it as a way to draw people into Brooklyn—and keep Brooklyn residents enjoying everything our borough has to offer.
