The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has refused to comply with a fourth deadline set by Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy to eliminate congestion pricing in New York. Citing ongoing court disputes, MTA officials dismissed Duffy's threats of withdrawing federal transit funds as irrelevant. MTA attorneys asserted that due process was not followed in Duffy's previous communications, which purportedly terminated the program without proper notice. They argue the federal government's stance is predetermined, rendering any discussions moot and labeling the exchanges as a 'sham'.
MTA officials declared that the federal pressure to eliminate congestion pricing is irrelevant since the matter is currently under judicial review.
Attorney Roberta Kaplan emphasized that Secretary Duffy's actions lacked proper legal procedure, arguing the decision was already made before any notice was given.
