A federal judge, Lewis Liman, has temporarily restrained federal actions against New York regarding the congestion toll in Manhattan, allowing the toll implementation to continue. Issued on June 9, this order emphasizes the state's right to manage its traffic; it comes amidst Trump's opposition and threats to withdraw federal support. Governor Kathy Hochul expressed relief, framing it as a significant win for New Yorkers. This legal dispute stems from actions taken during the Trump administration to rescind federal approval for the toll initially endorsed by the Biden administration.
New Yorkers deserve to control our own traffic patterns, keep gridlock off our streets and protect our clean air. Congestion pricing is the right solution to get us there.
The judge's decision is only temporary and not on the merits of the case itself, as we look forward to making our case in court against Hochul's initiative.
