US tells New York City it must end congestion pricing by March 21

(Reuters) – New York City must end its congestion pricing program by March 21, the Trump administration said in a letter made public on Wednesday.

Last week, the Transportation Department said it was rescinding federal approval of New York City’s congestion pricing program designed to reduce traffic and raise money to upgrade aging subway and bus systems.

Two New York City transit agencies have filed suit to block the decision.
