Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has issued a stern warning to Governor Kathy Hochul regarding the implementation of congestion pricing tolls in New York City. He claims that the collection of these tolls violates federal regulations and threatens to halt key transit projects if New York does not cease toll collection by May 21. Duffy argues that continued tolls are a financial burden on working-class citizens and must be halted to ensure compliance with federal law regarding highway funding.
"President Trump and I will not sit back while Governor Hochul engages in class warfare and prices working-class Americans out of accessing New York City."
"New York therefore is not legally permitted to collect tolls on roads within the [congestion pricing] zone that were constructed using Federal-aid highway funds."
