New York City congestion pricing plan rescinded by federal government

U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has announced that the government will end the program, citing concerns that it leaves drivers without a free highway alternative, with most passenger vehicles being charged $9 to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street during peak periods. The fee for trucks and buses is higher, at up to $21.60. The move comes after President Donald Trump expressed opposition to the congestion tax, stating it is "dead" and Manhattan has been "saved".
