Trump administration moves to kill congestion pricing in Manhattan

By Barbara Russo-Lennon Posted on February 19, 2025

Kathy Hochul on Wednesday saying it will end congestion pricing, the controversial tolling program that charges vehicles to enter Manhattan below and including 60th Street. It was launched in January after the Biden administration approved its start via a USDOT pilot program.
