Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the withdrawal of federal approval for the controversial congestion pricing program, citing a never-tested legal interpretation regarding the legality of tolling federally funded highways. Critically, the Federal Highway Administration had already approved the program, which has survived court challenges, leading experts to question the legality of Duffy's decision. His arguments hinge on claims that the program's goals do not align with federal guidelines, while former city officials assert that this interpretation is unfounded and contradicts previous collaborative efforts with the federal government.
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy's announcement to rescind federal approval for the congestion pricing program is rooted in an untested interpretation of federal law.
The Federal Highway Administration previously approved congestion pricing, which has endured legal challenges, raising doubts about whether Duffy can lawfully revoke this approval.
