The Trump administration's effort to eliminate New York's congestion pricing program has been temporarily blocked by U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman's restraining order. This ruling is seen as both a setback for President Trump's executive actions and a victory for New York officials, particularly Governor Kathy Hochul. Hochul emphasized the importance of congestion pricing for managing traffic and the environment. The judge's order allows the program to continue through at least June 9, thwarting threats from Transportation Secretary Duffy regarding federal funding consequences should the program persist.
A temporary restraining order by U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman is another setback for President Donald Trump's assertive use of executive power and a victory for New York Governor Kathy Hochul.
In a statement after the ruling, Governor Hochul said, 'New Yorkers deserve to control our own traffic patterns, keep gridlock off our streets and protect our clean air.'
