Tap title to read story
The Trump administration threatened to withhold federal funding from New York if it doesn't halt its congestion pricing plan by May 21st. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy claims the plan is illegal, exceeding the scope of its federal authorization and improperly subsidizing mass transit.
