Federal Court Hears Final Arguments Against NYC Congestion Pricing

Opponents argue the tolling plan was insufficiently vetted and could have harmful impacts on businesses and commuters.

  • Attorneys argue the plan will shift congestion to already burdened areas, not eliminate it.
  • Plaintiffs claim the environmental study was rushed and focused on revenue rather than reducing traffic.
  • The $15 toll is set to begin on June 30, with higher fees for trucks.
  • The MTA defends the plan, citing a thorough review process and planned mitigation measures.
  • Judge Liman has not indicated when a ruling will be made.
