It's gone again.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration withdrew federal authorization for New York's short-lived congestion pricing program that tolls drivers entering a cordon covering lower Manhattan.
In a letter to New York Gov. Kathy Hochul, U.S. Department of Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said that New York's congestion-priced cordon did not qualify for an exemption to the general federal prohibition on tolling federal-aid highways because it did not provide drivers a toll-free option and because its primary purpose was funding transit, not reducing congestion.
