The Trump administration has moved to cancel New York's newly implemented congestion pricing toll aimed at reducing traffic in Manhattan. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy criticized the toll, labeling it unfair to working-class individuals and small businesses. In response, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) filed a lawsuit to maintain the program, which had undergone extensive federal review and approval. Despite the federal pushback, state officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul and MTA CEO Janno Lieber, reiterated their commitment to keeping the tolls operational and vowed to confront the legal challenge.
But the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which administers the toll, quickly filed a federal lawsuit and vowed to fight back to keep the first-in-the-nation plan alive.
"The cameras are staying on. We are keeping the cameras on. Lights, cameras, action. They're staying on," Hochul said Wednesday.
