A New York Federal Court judge has granted an injunction preventing the U.S. Department of Transportation from shutting down the congestion toll to enter Lower Manhattan, pending a lawsuit from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA). Judge Louis Limin expressed urgency in resolving the case, indicating a desire for quick proceedings. The MTA's attorneys claim the federal government denied them due process by prematurely deciding to retract approvals for congestion pricing. The ruling is seen as a reinforcement of state sovereignty in matters of transportation funding.
MTA attorneys argued that the federal decision lacked due process, as USDOT's actions appeared predetermined, reducing opportunities for meaningful hearings.”},{
