A U.S. District Judge has ruled that New York's congestion pricing program cannot be immediately halted by the Trump administration. This temporary restraining order serves as a setback for President Trump, while also favoring New York Governor Kathy Hochul and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The administration had threatened serious consequences, indicating the program lacked federal approval, but the court's decision protects the tolling implementation through at least June 9. Hochul welcomed the ruling, asserting the necessity of congestion pricing for urban traffic management and environmental protection.
A temporary restraining order by U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman is another setback for President Trump's assertive use of executive power.
Hochul stated, 'We've won - again' and emphasized New Yorkers' right to control traffic and improve air quality.
