The Trump-Vance Administration is trying to
Unilaterally revoke New York City’s congestion pricing program
Let others know:
The Trump administration unilaterally revoked New York City's congestion pricing program that cut traffic and vehicle emissions.
On February 19th, 2025, the Trump administration began the process of revoking New York City's authorization to operate its congestion pricing program, which was designed to reduce traffic, vehicles emissions, and drive times. This program had started on January 5, 2025 and has already shown initial results. Congestion pricing has been successfully used in other major cities across the world, including as a way to encourage alternative transportation methods, such as buses and bikes. The Trump administration's revocation of this program was challenged immediately. At the end of May, a federal court blocked the revocation, after the MTA sued. As the case is decided by the courts, the congestion pricing program will continue.
