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.
Some, but not all are. It might add some extra expense but couldn’t they move the readers off of federal highways and onto the exits where they meet state and local roads? Might be worth it to preserve the program if the courts side with the president.
