Opponents of Manhattan's congestion pricing have urged the MTA to deactivate its toll cameras following confusion over ongoing charges amid federal disapproval. The program was implemented only six weeks prior before the U.S. Department of Transportation revoked its approval, deeming it unfair to working-class Americans. Despite this, MTA officials, backed by Governor Hochul, have vowed to keep the tolls operational and filed a lawsuit against the federal decision, which has angered many drivers. This legal tussle has left the public in a state of uncertainty regarding future toll charges.
The governor should have done the right thing and shut the readers off, said Charlton D'Souza, a subway rider group president opposing congestion pricing.
Until ruled otherwise, the congestion pricing cameras are staying on. We are keeping the cameras on. Lights, cameras, action. They're staying on! Hochul added.
