Federal Judge Blocks Trump Administrations Attempt to Kill Manhattan Congestion Pricing Program
A federal judge in New York has ruled against the Trump administrations attempt to end the Manhattan congestion pricing program. The program, which charges drivers a base toll of nine dollars when entering Manhattan below Sixtieth Street, has been successful in reducing traffic congestion, air pollution, and increasing public transit ridership. The ruling comes after a lawsuit filed by the MTA against Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, who lacks the authority to end the program as it was approved under President Bidens predecessor. The program is expected to generate over $550 million this year, funding key subway upgrades.
