This order pauses the USDOT's directive that aimed to end the program by May 31. The program's fate will remain uncertain as the lawsuit filed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority against the federal government plays out, but for now, the congestion pricing initiative is secure at least until June 9. This decision highlights the ongoing conflict between local transit initiatives and federal authority.
The federal judge's temporary restraining order against USDOT's directive marks a significant victory for NYC's congestion pricing program, ensuring it continues running until at least June 9.
