New York officials are adamant about continuing the newly established congestion pricing system, which aims to decrease traffic and provide funds for the transit system. The Federal Highway Administration has mandated that the $9 toll on vehicles entering certain Manhattan areas be discontinued by March 21, but Governor Kathy Hochul promises to resist this federal directive. The state's Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) is taking legal action against the federal government, asserting that it lacks the authority to revoke the program approved under the Biden administration. Hochul emphasizes unity and perseverance in defending the program.
The federal government cannot unilaterally terminate the program... there’s all kinds of case law in federal courts about the procedures that must be adhered to.
We will not be steamrolled here in New York... I’m in this fight together, and I’m in this as long as it takes.
