Governor Kathy Hochul condemned President Trump’s decision to terminate New York's congestion pricing program, viewing it as an infringement on state sovereignty. The Manhattan toll initiative, aimed at reducing traffic congestion, had only begun six weeks prior. Hochul’s fiery remarks highlighted a historical context, asserting that New Yorkers are ready to fight back against federal overreach. In response to the Trump administration's actions, the MTA initiated legal measures to preserve the program, with Hochul expressing confidence in a favorable outcome while asserting that the toll cameras will remain operational.
I'm here to say, New York hasn't labored under a king in over 250 years, and we sure as hell not going to start now.
Hochul claims New York is under siege by Washington and that it feels like the commuters of our city and our region are now the road killed on Donald Trump's revenge tour against New York.
Immediately after the Trump administration's announced Wednesday, the MTA filed a lawsuit to stop the gambit to kill congestion pricing.
Hochul is confident the lawsuit will be successful, adding that the cameras are staying on.
