Summary

NYC’s congestion pricing program, launched Jan 5 after Biden administration approval, faces new threats from the Trump administration.

Governor Kathy Hochul vows to keep the toll scanners active, deeming Trump’s effort and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s order an attack on the city.

The MTA swiftly filed a legal complaint to uphold the $9 toll, citing reduced traffic and critical funding for mass transit.

Legal experts warn the Trump administration faces an uphill legal battle.
