NYC’s congestion pricing program, which would be the nation’s first, was supposed to generate $15 billion in transit investment by charging passenger vehicles a $15 toll for entering the Central Business District (CBD) below 60th Street. This funding was going to support various MTA upgrades to its elevators, platforms, fare gates, surveillance software and of course, the Second Avenue Subway expansion.

However, without that investment, the MTA can no longer use that money source to fund many of its projects. Governor Kathy Hochul assured the city that there are state funds to combat the sudden loss, but progress on certain MTA improvements are now in jeopardy.
Moreover, this past Wednesday, the MTA voted to deduct $16.5 billion from its capital budget as a result of the pause on congestion pricing. Prior to the vote, MTA Chairman and CEO, Janno Leiber, said “We can work to make sure that improvement and expansion projects that are being moved down the list—and the accessibility impacts break my heart—but we can make sure that they are ready to go when the funding shows up.”

The Second Avenue Subway expansion was in phase 2 as of January 2024 after Governor Hochul awarded heavy civil contractor C.A.C. Industries, Inc. a $182 million utility relocation contract to do the job. This phase was going to extend the Q line into Harlem with new stations at Second Avenue and 125th Street. After completion, phase 2 of the Second Avenue Subway expansion was supposed to service an average of 100,000 riders daily. Yet for the time being, those 100,000 daily riders will have to keep waiting until new funding allows for progress on the project.
