US EditionNew York asks judge to bar Trump from killing congestion pricing program
- On May 5, the city and its transit authority requested a judge to prevent Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy from terminating the congestion pricing program in Manhattan.
- The request follows Duffy's April threat to withhold federal approvals and funding if New York does not stop the $9 toll program initiated in January.
- The program charges most vehicles entering Manhattan south of 60th Street during peak hours, aiming to reduce traffic and fund $15 billion in transit improvements.
- Data shows the program cut vehicle entries by about 8% to 13% with 5.8 million fewer cars between January and March and a 12% drop in April, plus improved travel times and increased retail activity.
- If the federal government blocks the program, delays to transit upgrades and increased congestion could result, while the city contends that stopping tolls would return gridlock long endured in Manhattan.
