Judge Blocks Trump Administration From Killing NYC Congestion Pricing -- WSJ

By Joseph De Avila

A federal judge has rejected the Trump administration's efforts to terminate New York City's congestion-pricing program.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Jeffrey Liman on Tuesday sided with the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, along with the New York Transportation Department and other plaintiffs. The MTA's lawsuit, filed in February 2025, challenged the federal government's attempt to rescind its prior approval for the tolling system.

New York's congestion-pricing program is the first of its kind in the U.S. The Federal Highway Administration, a division of the Transportation Department, in November 2024 entered into an agreement with New York authorizing the congestion-pricing system to begin collecting tolls. The Transportation Department was under the leadership of the Biden administration at the time. The congestion-pricing program went into effect in January 2025.
