New York Gov. Kathy Hochul threw President Biden under the bus Thursday when pressed on her revelation during this week’s gubernatorial debate that congestion pricing cannot be implemented in the Big Apple this year to help fund billions in subway repairs.

“We submitted our plans on time to Washington in February and by March, the federal government came back with over 400 questions,” she said of an ongoing environmental review of efforts to impose tolls on drivers who enter Manhattan below 60th Street.

While the Democratic governor did not call out the president by name, she repeatedly blamed the issue on the federal government that he controls.

The governor had first revealed the implementation of congestion pricing “is not going to happen in the next year” at Tuesday’s Democratic gubernatorial debate.

By Thursday, she suggested she was hoping for a quicker timeline from the Biden administration though she offered no specifics. 

“It’s probably not going to happen right now because we cannot get the necessary approvals from the federal government … I’m committed to getting it done,” Hochul added.

Some of the hang-ups with the federal government include an expansive environmental study that includes analyzing how congestion pricing might affect air quality and traffic as far away as the Philadelphia suburbs, MTA chief Janno Lieber told reporters.

Studying how low-income people might be affected by congestion pricing is also causing delays with the feds, he added.

State lawmakers gave the greenlight to congestion pricing in 2019 with hopes that it could be in place by the beginning of 2021. 

The timeline for getting congestion pricing in place has now been pushed to the end of 2023. 

“When I became a governor, I was told we had about an 18-month timeframe. I said: ‘It seems very long. What is involved in that?’ Well, a lot of hurdles had to be overcome, a lot of legal requirements,” Hochul recounted.

“I said, ‘Can we just shave off a few months?’ We were on track to get congestion pricing done even earlier than anticipated,” Hochul, who is running in the June 28 primary for governor after replacing scandal-ridden ex-Gov. Andrew Cuomo last August, told reporters at a Thursday press conference.

The governor added that talks are ongoing with the federal government.

“New Yorkers are ready for congestion pricing … there is no excuse for delaying congestion pricing,” Danny Pearlstein, a spokesman for the advocacy group Riders Alliance, told the Post following the Hochul press conference on Thursday.
