EP 04: Empire State Political Pulse with Jim Brennan - Congestion Pricing

Recently, New York's Governor Hochul delayed implementing, at the very last minute, the much anticipated congestion pricing scheme for NYC, which would charge drivers to cross into Manhattan's Central Business District between the hours of  5 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays, and from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on weekends.  Why the sudden delay?  What will happen now?  Will NYC see congestion pricing any time soon? How will it impact traffic, money for the MTA and transit improvements?   Join Jim and his two knowledgeable guests for an in-depth discussion: Kathryn Wylde [https://pfnyc.org/our-team/kathryn-s-wylde] is the President and CEO of the Partnership for New York City, a nonprofit organization whose members are the city’s global business leaders and major employers. The Partnership’s mission [https://pfnyc.org/about/] is to mobilize private sector resources and expertise to advance New York City’s standing as a global center of economic opportunity, upward mobility, and innovation.  She is also a member of the Traffic Mobility Review Board.  and  Rahul Jain [https://www.facebook.com/nyscomptroller/photos/a.283425578464027/1848387888634447/?type=3] is the Deputy Comptroller, Office of the State Deputy Comptroller for the City of New York. Rahul brings over 20 years of experience in financial services, government, and non-profit work to the role. He has spoken at a variety of conferences and events on topics pertaining to municipal finance and testified on issues facing New York City and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority and his work has been cited in major news publications, including the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post, among others.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
