A federal judge has temporarily stopped President Trump's attempt to dismantle New York City's congestion pricing program, which charges drivers for entering Manhattan below 60th Street during peak hours. The judge's preliminary injunction prevents the administration from withholding federal transportation funds in retaliation. Despite controversy and a split public opinion, Governor Kathy Hochul supports the program and the state's right to self-governance in transportation matters. The Department of Transportation plans to appeal the decision, criticizing the program as economically unfair.
