Declaraci
La tasa por congestión de tráfico reducirá la exposición de los habitantes de Nueva York a la contaminación del aire por causa del tráfico, ayudará a controlar la congestión vehicular y recaudará billones de dólares para invertir en la expansión del sistema de transporte colectivo que tanto necesita la ciudad.
Más de treinta estudios científicos demuestran que la contaminación a causa de la congestión vehicular aumenta el riesgo de cancer, enfermedades respiratorias y del corazón para las personas que viven cerca de carreteras congestionadas. Mas de dos millones de neoyorquinos viven con este riesgo. La tasa por congestión de tráfico permitirá a nuestos hijos y a las próximas generaciones llevar una vida más segura y saludable.
