Governor Kathy Hochul is facing challenges to New York's congestion pricing program as the Trump administration has ordered it to cease collection of tolls by March 21, 2025. This directive from the Federal Highway Administration came in the wake of Hochul's legal action against the federal government, aiming to uphold the program. The administration's stance reflects a broader criticism of congestion pricing as detrimental to working-class citizens. Despite these challenges, Hochul remains committed to fighting for the program, determined to keep toll operations active in the face of federal opposition.
Hochul vowed to keep fighting for New Yorkers in court despite the Trump administration's deadline to cease congestion pricing collection, asserting that operations will continue.
FHWA’s Gloria Shepherd indicated in a letter that toll collection for congestion pricing must end by March 21, 2025, reflecting the Trump administration’s stance.
