New York maintains its $9 congestion toll for vehicles entering Manhattan, despite federal challenges led by Trump administration officials. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) affirmed its commitment to this traffic charge, asserting it reduces congestion and aids public transport funding. Even after the U.S. Transportation Secretary rescinded approval for the toll, the MTA has legally contested this and defied compliance deadlines. The initiative started on January 5 aims to enhance city transport and has reportedly resulted in decreased traffic volume.
The MTA's chief of policy, John J. McCarthy, emphasized in a court filing that congestion pricing will remain in New York, highlighting the lack of merit in Secretary Duffy's arguments against it.
Despite the Trump administration's push to halt the toll, New York confirmed that the congestion toll remains active, indicating a commitment to the program's benefits.
