Congestion pricing lives on as judge rules that Trump admin’s effort to kill it was unlawful

Congestion pricing survived yet another challenge Tuesday after a federal judge ruled that the Trump administration’s attempt to kill the Manhattan toll program is unlawful.

In his 149-page decision, U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman made clear that U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Secretary Sean Duffy lacks the legal authority to unilaterally void a program established through a contract signed by a previous Transportation secretary.
