The federal government is moving to revoke approval for New York City's recently launched congestion pricing plan, calling it unfair to workers and small businesses. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy expressed concerns that the toll would impose financial burdens on commuters who have already contributed to highway construction through taxes. The plan's potential impact on small businesses reliant on customer traffic from neighboring states and the overall flow of commerce into the city further justified the government's decision. The exact timeline for terminating the congestion pricing plan is still being established.
New York State's congestion pricing plan is a slap in the face to working class Americans and small business owners, as well as hurting small businesses.
By increasing costs for trucks and making goods more expensive for consumers, the policy impedes the flow of commerce into New York.
