Federal Government Extends Deadline for New York's Congestion Toll Amid Legal Battles

New York has until May 21 to justify continuing its $9 congestion toll after the Trump administration demanded a halt to the program.


Overview

A summary of the key points of this story verified across multiple sources.

New York's $9 congestion toll, aimed at reducing traffic in Manhattan, is under scrutiny as the Trump administration demands its repeal. U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has granted New York an extension until May 21 to cease the program, citing potential loss of federal funding. Despite earlier court challenges, the MTA continues to collect the toll, which has resulted in a 13% drop in vehicles entering the zone and an expected $500 million revenue this year. Critics, including President Donald Trump, argue the toll harms working-class Americans, while the MTA insists congestion pricing is essential for funding public transport.
