New York City’s truckers are the latest group to go to court seeking to stop congestion pricing — claiming tolls of up to $36 to enter Manhattan are “discriminatory” just a month ahead of the policy’s long-awaited rollout.
The Trucking Association of New York (TANY) filed their lawsuit to stop the program in Manhattan federal court on Thursday, contending that the MTA is charging higher tolls to trucks because the agency needs to raise $1 billion per year through the program, and knows trucking companies have “inelastic” schedules to deliver goods to clients.
