Gridlock Sam, aka Sam Schwartz, is back with his most ambitious transportation plan for New York yet. His proposal reduces or cuts tolls on non- Manhattan bridges, while increasing tolls for the East River bridges. Bus fares in neighborhoods without subways would be reduced, while taxi and car service trips below 86th Street would receive a surcharge. Major roadways would be widened and bus rapid transit would be added. Even bikers would be affected, paying a toll to cross the East River bridges, with the funds going towards new bike/ pedestrian bridges.
Schwartz denies his plan uses congestion pricing, instead saying the fees are a fair way to price city travel between congested and non congested areas. The plan would generate over $1.2 billion a year, which could be used for various transit projects.
