Trump Administration May Block New York’s Controversial Congestion Pricing Toll Plan in Manhattan

The Trump administration may block New York’s controversial “congestion pricing” toll plan in Manhattan, according to The New York Times. The scheme, which aims to reduce traffic and emissions while raising revenue, was authorized by the Biden administration but could face a legal challenge if revoked. Critics, including Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy, argue the toll will disproportionately impact working-class commuters. Since its January 5 implementation, the toll has charged drivers $9 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street, with costs varying by time of day and vehicle type.
