Two advocacy groups, Riders Alliance and Sierra Club, have joined the MTA's lawsuit against the Trump administration regarding the proposed congestion pricing program in NYC. Filed in federal court, this complaint argues that the administration's retraction of approval demonstrates significant legal errors and an improper basis for cancellation. The new claims focus on the authorization process, countering Secretary Duffy's assertion that the program lacked lawful authorization. The congestion pricing initiative has already generated substantial revenue and improved transit efficiency since its launch.
'The lawsuit charges that the Trump administration made serious legal mistakes in reversing its approval, suggesting a pretextual action against NYC's congestion pricing program.'
'During its first month of operation, the congestion pricing program has raised $48.6 million, reduced congestion, and improved the speed times of buses and emergency vehicles.'
