"Judge Halts Trump Administration Effort To Axe New York Congestion Pricing"

"A judge has temporarily halted a Trump administration effort to kill New York City’s congestion pricing program, which imposes a significant toll on cars entering part of Manhattan.

Federal Judge Lewis Liman issued a temporary restraining order barring the Transportation Department “purporting to terminate” the congestion pricing program.

Liman, a Trump appointee, also barred the department from taking actions laid out in an April letter to punish New York for not eliminating the program. The letter threatens to withhold funds and hold up federal project approvals if the program continues.

“Defendants are enjoined from withholding federal funds, approvals, or authorizations from New York State or local agencies,” the order states."
