Reinstate NYC congestion pricing, respect local authority

The Trump administration's decision to terminate New York City's congestion pricing program is an overreach that undermines local authority and environmental progress. This evidence-based approach to reducing traffic and funding transit improvements should not be unilaterally halted by the federal government. Congestion pricing has proven successful in major cities worldwide, decreasing pollution while enhancing mobility. NYC had already secured approval after extensive review. Terminating this program disregards the will of state and local officials, as well as the needs of millions who rely on public transportation. This unilateral action is an abuse of power that prioritizes politics over sound policymaking. The fight to reinstate congestion pricing through the courts must continue to uphold environmental goals and respect local decision-making authority.
