New York said Thursday it will revive a controversial scheme to charge drivers entering parts of the city, a first in the United States, putting local authorities on a collision course with President-elect Donald Trump.
"Under this plan, the (transport authority) will implement a congestion pricing plan with a reduced daytime toll of $9 beginning in January," said New York governor Kathy Hochul, announcing the revival of the plan that she put on pause in June, reduced from the originally planned $15 base level.
