/Uber, Lyft spent millions pushing for NYC congestion pricing —and stand to make a killing
Uber and Lyft poured millions of dollars into efforts to legalize congestion tolling — and they stand to be among the biggest winners.
Uber spent $2 million alone from 2015 to 2019 to promote congestion pricing, roughly $1 million of which went to some of the city’s top lobbyists, the company confirmed to The Post in 2019.
Since then, both and Uber and Lyft have continued to hire top lobbyists to help persuade key state and city officials to approve the controversial levy, including Gov. Kathy Hochul and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, records show.
