NYC congestion pricing axed as Trump’s DOT pulls approval of hated toll

President Trump’s administration signed the death warrant for New York’s congestion pricing scheme Wednesday — a move widely cheered as a win for the working class.

In a letter to Gov. Kathy Hochul, US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said he’d be pulling federal approval of the deeply unpopular program, which he called “a slap in the face to working-class Americans and small business owners.”

“Every American should be able to access New York City regardless of their economic means. It shouldn’t be reserved for an elite few,” Duffy wrote.
