I am Right episode 1 Congestion pricing

As of February 19, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation has rescinded its approval of New York City’s congestion pricing program, effectively halting the initiative. The program, which began on January 5, 2025, imposed a $9 toll on most vehicles entering Manhattan south of 60th Street during peak hours, aiming to reduce traffic congestion and fund mass transit improvements.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy criticized the program, stating it lacked a toll-free alternative and disproportionately burdened working-class Americans and small businesses. In response, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has filed a lawsuit to challenge the federal government’s decision and maintain the program.

The future of congestion pricing in New York City remains uncertain as legal proceedings unfold.
