Former Rep. Marc Molinaro may be appointed to lead the Federal Transit Administration, a role that could influence the future of Manhattan's congestive toll policy. As an adversary of Governor Hochul's $9 toll plan for entering Midtown, Molinaro's leadership could lead to potential changes in the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's operations. His previous comments highlight a desire for government transparency and efficiency and reflect a strong stance against perceived exploitation of taxpayers through tolls. This appointment aligns with Trump's broader discontent regarding congestion pricing policies in New York City.
"There is a clear path to undoing the State's cash grab. The MTA is in desperate need of reform, transparency & accountability. Hardworking NYers & New Jerseyans aren't an ATM for this bloated bureaucracy."
"Having a New Yorker at the helm is critical to hold the MTA accountable and kill congestion pricing, while ensuring it receives the federal transit resources it needs."
