A federal judge has dismissed several arguments against New York's congestion pricing plan, reaffirming its legal standing. Judge Lewis J. Liman's 98-page decision supports the state's implementation of the toll amid opposition from residents, a teachers' union, and a trucking group. Critics argue that the plan lacks adequate vetting and will redistribute traffic unfairly across communities. Liman's ruling is expected to limit the federal government's ability to challenge the toll, while advocates claim it confirms the state's compliance with legal procedures.
The judge's 98-page decision dismissing various arguments against congestion pricing strengthens New York State's case in its battle against the Trump administration.
Opponents, including coalitions of residents, a teachers' union, and a trucking association, argue the plan was not fully vetted and is unfair to drivers.
Judge Liman's ruling could limit the federal government's options to block the toll, indicating the state complied with legal processes in implementing congestion pricing.
Supporters, like Justin Backal Balik, argue this ruling reinforces that New York's congestion pricing plan followed legal protocols, bolstering its defense.
