Trump Admin Set To Axe NYC's New Congestion Toll, DOT Secretary Duffy Confirms​

New York City's deeply unpopular congestion pricing plan is now set to be scrapped, as the Trump administration will revoke its approval Wednesday, calling the toll “backwards and unfair”, according to the New York Post. The Department of Transportation confirmed the report shortly after the Post's scoop.

“New York State’s congestion pricing plan is a slap in the face to working-class Americans and small business owners. But now the toll program leaves drivers without any free highway alternative and instead takes more money from working people to pay for a transit system, not highways. It’s backwards and unfair,” Duffy said.

Duffy emphasized the program’s economic burden: “Every American should be able to access New York City regardless of their economic means. It shouldn’t be reserved for an elite few.”
