The tolling program will continue while a court considers the city’s lawsuit against the Trump administration.

A judge approved an agreement between the New York City Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and the federal government that will let the city’s congestion pricing program continue into the summer. The program was slated to end on April 20. According to reporting by Jared Gans in The Hill, the lawsuit challenges the Trump administration’s decision to rescind federal approval for the program.
After months of debate and delays, the program was implemented in January with a toll of $9, down from a proposed $15, for most drivers entering parts of Manhattan. The federal government revoked the program’s approval in February, in keeping with President Trump’s consistent distaste for the program. “A Siena College poll of New York City residents last month showing 42 percent in support of the program and 35 percent opposed, with 16 percent saying they’re in the middle.”
