Duffy Gives NYC 30-Day Congestion Pricing Extension, Puts Hochul ‘On Notice’

"Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy announced the administration was giving New York City a 30-day extension for its congestion pricing plan and putting New York Gov. Kathy Hochul (D) “on notice.”

“@GovKathyHochul — the federal government and @POTUS are putting New York on notice,” Duffy said Thursday in a post on the social platform X. “Your refusal to end cordon pricing and your open disrespect towards the federal government is unacceptable.”

The Federal Highway Administration gave New York a Friday deadline to stop collecting tolls to enter the city. The plan was aimed at reducing traffic in the area and bringing in money for other infrastructure projects.

President Trump declared he would rescind the order and said he had saved New York, while Hochul vowed to oppose the president in court, prompting the clash over tolls."
