The Trump administration is moving ahead with its plan to kill New York City’s congestion pricing – a controversial tolling program designed to help raise millions in critical infrastructure funding and decrease traffic in Manhattan’s most congested zones.

US President Donald Trump met with New York Governor Kathy Hochul on Friday to defend New York City’s congestion pricing program, two days after his administration moved to block the toll program.

The U.S. Department of Transportation is withdrawing its support for New York City’s controversial congestion pricing plan and will discuss with the state and stakeholders how to end the program, the agency announced Wednesday.
