Federal Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy issued a letter threatening to withhold federal funds for Manhattan and potentially all New York projects if Gov. Hochul does not reverse the congestion pricing system by May 21. This ultimatum follows Duffy's previous attempts to unilaterally cancel a federal agreement related to congestion pricing, which Hochul has consistently defended. The MTA, awaiting approval for billions in federal funding for crucial renovations, now faces complications from Duffy's actions, including an ongoing federal lawsuit against him regarding the legality of his order.
Duffy's letter warned that failure to comply with congestion pricing regulations might result in withheld federal funding for New York's key transportation projects.
Hochul maintains that congestion pricing will continue, despite Duffy's threats and attempts to cancel federal agreements supporting the system.
