The MTA board voted to pass Governor Hochul's revised congestion pricing plan. The board indicated the base toll would be "phased in" with the fare starting at $9 and raising to $12 for 2028 through 2030 and $15 in 2031. There are exemptions for emergency vehicles, buses and transportation for the elderly and the disabled-and for those with health conditions who must avoid mass transit. https://lnkd.in/eFk3wSYv #MTA #CongestionPricing #CongestionReliefZong #NYC

The EPA has issued the Lead and Copper Rule Improvement (LCRI) requiring drinking water systems across the country to identify and replace lead pipes within 10 years. The LCRI also requires more rigorous testing of drinking water and a lower threshold for communities to take action on lead in drinking water to protect people from lead exposure. In addition, the final rule improves communication within communities so that families are better informed about the risk of lead in drinking water, the location of lead pipes, and plans for replacing them. Alongside the Lead and Copper Rule Improvements, EPA is announcing $116,298,000 in newly available drinking water infrastructure funding for New York through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law. https://lnkd.in/exAYmpCh. #drinkingwater #funding #leadserviceli wa #LCRI
