Trump could halt congestion pricing that has helped unsnarl Manhattan's busy streets It is unpopular with both Republican and Democrat lawmakers opposing the $9 charge for drivers.
Donald Trump could halt New York’s controversial congestion pricing program despite it successfully unsnarling many of the city’s bumper-to-bumper streets.
Without the authorization the program could be left open to legal challenges that could end, or at the very least temporarily pause, congestion pricing from continuing.
Its purpose is to reduce heavy gridlock, lower vehicle carbon emissions, and provide more funding to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority to improve public transportation like subways and buses.
The plan, which went into effect earlier this month, charges drivers an additional $9 to enter midtown or downtown Manhattan during peak hours.
