Transportation Sec Duffy pens letter to Hochul pulling support for NYC congestion pricing
President Donald Trump's administration has moved to block the New York City congestion pricing toll program.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy penned a letter informing New York Gov. Kathy Hochul on Wednesday that the Federal Highway Administration's approval of the pilot program was "not authorized by law."
"New York State’s congestion pricing plan is a slap in the face to working class Americans and small business owners," Duffy also said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital. "Commuters using the highway system to enter New York City have already financed the construction and improvement of these highways through the payment of gas taxes and other taxes.

It’s backwards and unfair."
