Summary
New York’s congestion pricing tolls are staying on, even as Trump tries to kill the program.
They were federally approved under the Biden administration and launched on January 5, charging most drivers $9 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street.
Gov. Kathy Hochul condemns the Trump administration’s move to revoke approval, calling it an attack on the city.
The MTA immediately sued the U.S. Department of Transportation, insisting the government can’t unilaterally end an active program.
By refusing to comply, the MTA keeps tolls running while legal battles continue.
True that. I knew about the scandal and you are 100% right and the video is excellent. I was just briefly inhabiting a fantasy world where people are treating Trump with the laughter and dismissal that he deserves, and I guess which person holds which office wasn’t a part of my imagining.
