Research<\/a> conducted in July by Altitude, a company that analyzes data on road networks, showed that between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m., 44% of Manhattan roadways in the CRZ experienced faster commercial vehicle travel times.<\/p>\nTrump\u2019s latest post renews his urgency to end the controversial program, which many New Yorkers still oppose. In May, a federal judge prevented the USDOT from imposing retaliatory funding cuts against New York, contingent on the continuation of congestion pricing.<\/p>\n
It was not immediately clear when the court would rule on the ongoing case between the feds and the MTA.\n<\/p>\n
Danny Pearlstein, policy and communications director of the transit advocacy group, said \u201cwhat really matters is that the cameras are staying on,\u201d referring to the traffic cameras on toll gantries at entrance points into Manhattan.<\/p>\n
\u201cNew Yorkers are saving valuable time from congestion relief,\u201d he said. \u201cAfter decades of disinvestment, Governor Hochul is responding to the needs of millions of riders by raising money to make the subway more reliable and accessible.\u201d<\/p>\n
Still, not all New Yorkers see the benefits of congestion pricing. Local politicians, including Staten Island Borough President Vito Fossella and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, have opposed the program, with the latter describing the toll program as an \u201cunfair tax on commuters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa, as one of the three key candidates in the 2025 NYC mayoral election, also opposes congestion pricing. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n
Duffy, meanwhile, said he agrees with the President.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cOur push to end this scam has been stuck in a district court for months,\u201d Duffy said. \u201cWhile New York keeps fighting our rightful legal authorities, Hochul continues to price more and more people out of the city.\u201d<\/p>\n
The MTA reported that is on track to reach its goal of $500 million this year through congestion pricing tolls. With the money, the agency said it will make improvements to mass transit on its subway, bus, Long Island Rail Road and Metro-North Railroad systems.\u00a0<\/p>\n
