Truckers Challenge NYC Congestion Pricing in Federal Court

Lawsuit argues toll plan unfairly targets trucking industry with higher fees than passenger vehicles

Trucking Association of New York seeks to delay the congestion pricing policy set to begin on June 30.
The lawsuit claims the tolling structure is unconstitutional and imposes excessive financial burdens on truckers.
Trucks could face charges up to $36 during peak hours, compared to $15 for passenger cars.
The industry argues the plan will increase costs for residents as truckers have limited alternative routes.
The MTA plans to use the toll revenue to fund mass transit improvements and reduce traffic congestion in Manhattan.
