The Trump administration has issued a firm March 21 deadline for New York City to cease its congestion pricing tolls, sparking a fierce political battle. Governor Kathy Hochul has vowed to resist this move, asserting her commitment to maintain the congestion pricing system, which has reportedly brought in significant revenue for the MTA. Despite federal pressure, including a memo from the Department of Transportation and protests from various advocates, New York City officials maintain that they will not comply with the order. The debate intensifies as the city defends the program, aiming to reduce traffic and fund public transit, while federal officials argue against its continuation.
