I doubt she gained anything politically from delaying it in the first place. And if the Trump administration can genuinely stop this, they would have been better off implementing it as planned.

    I think she’s trying to have her cake and eat it too. She’ll claim killing the toll helped flip suburban representatives, and by reinstating it she can try and also curry favor from city dwellers.

    I feel like it shouldn’t be too bad to exempt school buses and emergency vehicles.

      exempt school buses and emergency vehicles.

      I don’t think it ever applied to emergency vehicles, although I’m not sure about school buses.

      Indeed:

      Qualifying authorized emergency vehicles, qualifying vehicles transporting a person with disabilities, specialized government vehicles, and transit and commuter buses would be exempted from the CBD toll

      I’m not sure if commuter buses include school buses, but you’d expect it too.

      The main changes seem to be a reduction in tolls. Which is fine as a starting point, although I hope they increase relatively quickly.
