New York City and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority have requested a federal judge to prevent Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy from terminating the city's congestion pricing initiative. Launched in January, this innovative program charges a toll to vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street during peak hours to tackle congestion and generate funds for enhancing public transportation. The legal move aims to counteract efforts from the Trump administration to withhold necessary federal approvals that are crucial for the program and other city projects.
