NYC congestion pricing scanners are staying on, despite President Trump's attempt to end New York's toll for drivers in Manhattan.

Summary

New York’s congestion pricing tolls are staying on, even as Trump tries to kill the program.

They were federally approved under the Biden administration and launched on January 5, charging most drivers $9 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street.

Gov. Kathy Hochul condemns the Trump administration’s move to revoke approval, calling it an attack on the city.

The MTA immediately sued the U.S. Department of Transportation, insisting the government can’t unilaterally end an active program.

By refusing to comply, the MTA keeps tolls running while legal battles continue.

    As I understand it, the tolls are levied on land connected to the bridges and tunnels entering New York, which are managed by the federal government, not the city.
