Judge Blocks Trump's Attempt to Halt NYC Congestion Pricing | JQJO

A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration's attempt to halt New York City's congestion pricing program. Judge Lewis Liman issued a temporary restraining order preventing the withholding of federal funds until June 9th. The MTA, which operates the program, had sought the injunction after the Department of Transportation rescinded its approval. New York Governor Kathy Hochul hailed the ruling as a victory, emphasizing the state's right to manage its traffic and fund its transit system. The congestion pricing program, launched in January, charges vehicles to enter Manhattan below 60th Street, generating significant revenue for public transit.
