Congestion Pricing

Last month, the Trump administration ordered New York state to end congestion pricing by March 21. The deadline has now been extended for 30 days after New York officials showed no signs of stopping the tolls.

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sent Gov. Kathy Hochul a letter announcing his agency would revoke federal approval for the tolls, which were permitted to launch through a Federal Highway Agency pilot program.

Thousands of Connecticut commuters who traveled into New York City on Monday faced the first weekday of congestion pricing. Over the weekend, New York implemented a toll that would charge drivers based on the size of their vehicle and the time of day.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s congestion pricing plan begins Sunday, Jan. 5, but some drivers might qualify for an exemption

Transit advocates and environmental groups have sued New York Governor Kathy Hochul over her abrupt pause on the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's congestion pricing plan.

MTA Board members voted Wednesday to pause the controversial plan to charge drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street, weeks after Governor Kathy Hochul pulled her support.

U.S. Rep. Anthony D’Esposito (R-NY) is looking to pass legislation that would specifically ban the MTA’s head, Janno Lieber, from spending federal funds on a personal driver or vehicle.

Republican lawmakers on Long Island say the plan to charge drivers who travel into Manhattan will hurt commuters and small businesses. They urged New York Gov. Kathy Hochul to drop her support for congestion pricing, calling it "highway robbery."

New York commuters are one step closer to paying a toll when entering Manhattan below 60th Street after the Metropolitan Transportation Authority voted 9-1 to approve the congestion pricing plan.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will move forward with its congestion pricing plan in lower Manhattan after getting federal approval on Monday.
