A lot of people come in and out of New York City, and we don't just mean at the airports. 

There's a countless number of vehicles criss-crossing our bridges and tunnels every day-- and no relief is in sight. Well, that is... until now. 

A Brooklyn-born engineer named "Gridlock" Sam Schwartz had introduced a proposal entitled MoveNY, which will place a toll on a number of free NYC bridges and tunnels (so that nobody would take indirect routes to avoid the tolls-- as is the case now).  

The concept is supposed to create lots of new jobs and keep everybody moving more smooth, plus it'll raise $1.5 billion annually. 

But that means adding tolls to the Brooklyn, Williamsburg, Queensboro (sorry, Mr. Koch), and Manhattan Bridges-- as well as the FDR Drive, West Side Highway, and 60th Street crossings. 

And now, MoveNY is publicly backed by the City Council's Progressive Caucus. 

Frankly, this all seems quite fair. It doesn't seem rational to overly compartmentalize the cost of travel in NYC. Adding a toll to all passages would hopefully reduce the tolls on all other roadways, effectively averaging out the price of travel across NYC.

Now here's the kicker: the swell of support for this plan comes on the heels of the city throwing $2 billion into funding the MTA's capital plan. (In case you missed it, it was recently announced that the City and State finally committed to funding the $30 billion plan.) 

You'd think that with $30 billion, the MTA would be able to fix everything that's crumbling and/or under construction, but that's not the case. In fact, funds allocated towards completing the 2nd Avenue line were slashed by 50%.

Now check out the video below and ask yourselves this: Should we actually implement this?
