The New York City tolling program began on Jan. 5 after defying obstacles for decades. A move to stop it would likely touch off a legal battle between the state and federal government.

The head of the MTA said he remained optimistic that President Donald Trump would not repeal New York’s congestion pricing program, even as the new president had conversations with Gov. Kathy Hochul in recent days about the plan’s future.

President Donald Trump may move to halt congestion pricing in New York City, a move that may be welcomed by Gov. Phil Murphy, who has opposed it.

President Donald Trump is considering revoking the approval congestioner pricing awarded under former President Joe Biden last year.

Trump has repeatedly stated he opposes the MTA congestion tolling plan, which charges most motorists $9 a day to enter Manhattan south of 60th St.

President Donald Trump and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have spoken about ending congestion pricing, a highly-placed source said.

President Donald Trump has maintained his opposition to congestion pricing in New York and has spoken to Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) twice in the past week about it. Hochul wants to keep the program, which has resulted in 1 million fewer vehicles entering the congested spots in Manhattan since its start on Jan.
