Hochul refuses to detail talks with anti-congestion pricing Trump over future of toll program

By Ethan Stark-Miller Posted on January 31, 2025

Gov. Kathy Hochul on Friday refused to disclose her recent conversations with President Trump on the fate of New York City’s congestion pricing program following reports on Thursday that he may scuttle the fairly new tolling system.

Hochul, during an unrelated Jan. 31 Manhattan news conference, said she would not reveal details of her two phone conversations with Trump this week, even as the New York Times reported that he is considering pulling a key approval for congestion pricing. The program charges drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street a $9 base toll — with the goal of reducing traffic and generating much-needed funds to update the city’s aging transit system.
