New York Governor Kathy Hochul announced that her administration will not comply with a federal ultimatum to end the cityâs congestion pricing initiative, which charges vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street. Despite the U.S. Department of Transportation's warnings and deadlines, Hochul's office has made it clear that the congestion pricing will continue as implemented. This defiance is supported by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), which filed a lawsuit against the federal government, emphasizing the legality of local decisions made to address urban congestion.
Gov. Kathy Hochul declared the state's intent to ignore a federal order to end New York City's congestion pricing, insisting the cameras will remain operational.
The MTA's response to the federal government's deadline reflects a broader commitment to local governance and policy decisions made by its elected representatives.
