U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman declined a group's request to pause the congestion pricing program, emphasizing that delaying it would harm public interest and financial stability.
The Riders Alliance hailed the judge's decision, stating that the congestion pricing plan aims to decongest streets, enhance subway efficiency, and reduce air pollution.
Elected officials outside Manhattan, such as Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella, expressed disappointment over the ruling but felt it was an anticipated outcome.
Environmental and economic benefits of congestion pricing have been stressed, with stakeholders asserting its thorough study and global validation as an effective strategy.
