Hochul will defy Trump deadline to stop NYC congestion pricing - but insists president still backs her Penn Station revamp plan
Briefly

Governor Hochul has asserted that congestion pricing cameras will remain active past a deadline established by President Trump. Despite Trump’s opposition and his pledge to dismantle the tolls, Hochul sees potential in their discussions about revamping Penn Station. MTA Chairman Janno Lieber confirmed the tolls would continue as long as legal challenges regarding the program are in place, emphasizing the complexity of resolving disputes without a court's directive. Hochul aims to maintain dialogue with Trump, viewing common ground in their shared interest in improving infrastructure.
The cameras are staying on, and the tolls for drivers entering Manhattan will remain despite President Trump's March 21 end date, as litigation persists.
This is not a test of wills; it's just the reality that, when you have a dispute, things don't change until a court orders it.
