Trump’s Failed Attempt to Kill NYC Congestion Pricing
Despite legal challenges and opposition from former President Trump, New York City’s congestion pricing program remains active, with the MTA rejecting calls to cease operations. The program, which charges drivers $9 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street, has demonstrably reduced traffic and is funding crucial mass transit improvements. While some oppose the toll’s cost, supporters cite its positive impact on traffic flow and public transportation. The MTA is defending the program legally, while simultaneously seeking additional federal funding for unrelated projects.
