"Congestion Pricing Board Meeting Amidst Looming Transit Worker Strike"

The Traffic Mobility Review Board in New York City will hold a meeting to discuss congestion pricing, while mass transit workers from NJ Transit and Metro-North warn of a possible strike due to stalled contract talks. The workers are demanding pay raises after four years of no increase, citing high inflation. NJ Transit leaders are negotiating with the union, while Metro-North workers and union officials are raising awareness about the potential strike. MTA Communications Director Tim Minton dismissed the strike concerns for Metro-North, stating that there is no risk of a legal strike this year due to mandated mediation and cooling-off periods. Congestion pricing is set to be implemented next spring.
