New York City has secured a temporary win against the Trump administration's threats to withhold federal funding over its congestion pricing program. A federal judge, Lewis Liman, granted a restraining order allowing the program to operate until at least June 9. The ruling comes amid Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy's statements about potential federal funding freezes. The judge noted that legal reviews confirmed the program's validity, while state officials, including Governor Kathy Hochul, hailed the ruling as a triumph for New Yorkers.
Congestion pricing is likely to move forward indefinitely despite the federal administration's objections because the MTA showed a likelihood of success, according to the judge.
The courts said this is because the plan was already reviewed by state, local and federal agencies, according to the New York Times newspaper.
