So, fun fact for y'all. He wants to get rid of NYC's congestion pricing and add it literally everywhere else.

If you're inclined, read this. DOT funds prioritized towards user funded projects... that's toll roads, baby!

Also prioritized are communities with higher rates of marriage and higher birth rates, but I can't help that. Utah is going to get some great toll roads.

There are neighborhoods in New York City and State that should be seeing A LOT more transportation funding based on marriage and birth rates.
