Trump administration rescinds congestion pricing for New York City

Daily $9 fee designed to reduce traffic in heart of Manhattan and raise billions to upgrade subway train and bus systems

The Trump administration announced on Wednesday it intends to rescind approval of New York City's congestion pricing program that is designed to reduce traffic in the heart of busy Manhattan and, in the process, raise billions to upgrade New York's subway train and bus systems.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), the public-private entity that provides public transportation services in the New York metro area, immediately sued the government in an effort to block its move.
