New data shows congestion pricing is working as planned. However, commuters in the Hudson Valley tell News 12 they're still not on board.

Steven Sistrunk lives in Yonkers and has a job that takes him all over.

"Manhattan, upper Westchester County, in between the five boroughs," says Sistrunk.

He says he sees the impact of congestion pricing firsthand.

"We pay a lot already to rent our trucks because we don't use them all year. On top of paying for the rental of the truck, we have to pay for the congestion price as well," Sistrunk explains.

He wants it gone and he's not the only one.

"I feel it's hurting the working people, the people that are working everyday," says Linda, who lives in the Bronx.

However, Gov. Kathy Hochul says it's not going anywhere.

She and the MTA say it's working.

Data shows traffic dropped 11% in the Central Business District in February, compared to the same time last year.

Also, public transportation ridership is up. Bus ridership has increased by 9%, subway ridership is up 6%.

“Congestion relief is a local tool helping to solve a local problem. With this tool activated we are delivering access to efficient transportation to all New Yorkers and visitors including those who drive, and those who ride our subways, buses, and paratransit vehicles alike," says MTA Chief Accessibility Officer Quemuel Arroyo.

Meanwhile, the federal government says it is "putting New York on notice."

The Trump administration initially ordered for the pricing to be shut down by Friday.

However, that deadline has been pushed back to the end of April "as discussions continue."

"I'm in favor or urban density, I'm in favor of public transportation and congestion pricing is one of the best ways to do all those things," says Yonkers resident Eleanora.

While some in the Hudson Valley want it to stay, others are looking at it from both sides.

Pamela Holmes lives in Yonkers but works in the city.

She says her commute on the bus is quicker.

However, she understands the financial pinch.

"I know these economic times, it's a bit of a hardship for people," Holmes tells News 12.
