DOJ Error Reveals Flaws in NYC Congestion Pricing Challenge

Tap title to read story

A mistakenly filed Department of Justice document revealed legal flaws in the Trump administration's attempt to halt New York City's congestion pricing program. The document highlighted the "considerable litigation risk" of the administration's actions, citing weak arguments for cancellation. The DOJ lawyers suggested an alternative justification, emphasizing changed agency priorities. The error was acknowledged, and the document was sealed. The congestion pricing program, the first in the nation, went into effect in January and charges drivers for entering Manhattan below 60th Street to reduce congestion and fund public transit. The MTA is suing to keep the program.
