NYC Congestion Pricing to Remain in Effect Through Fall as Federal Lawsuit Advances

An agreement between the Trump administration and the MTA delays a court ruling while federal officials maintain an April 20 deadline to end the tolls.

The Trump administration and the MTA have agreed to a legal schedule that allows congestion pricing in Manhattan to continue at least until October while the case is litigated.
Federal officials have stated they will not seek a preliminary injunction to stop the tolls during the lawsuit, despite an April 20 deadline to end the program.
The MTA has filed a lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's decision to revoke federal approval for the congestion pricing system, arguing it is critical for transit funding.
Governor Kathy Hochul and other New York officials have defended the program, citing reduced traffic, faster commutes, and $100 million in toll revenue for transit upgrades.
Critics, including Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, argue the tolls unfairly burden working-class commuters and small businesses while threatening to withhold federal transit funding.
