AI Summary:
New York City has won a temporary reprieve in its legal battle against the administration of US President Donald Trump. US Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy said he believed the federal government would withhold government approvals in the state. Congestion pricing is likely to move forward indefinitely despite the federal administration’s objections because the Metropolitan Transit Authority showed a likelihood of success. New York state launched the programme in January. Drivers have to pay congestion pricing tolls of $9 per day for driving during peak times in parts of Manhattan. The state made the program in an effort to cut congestion in the nation’s most populous city. In March, the MTA forecasted that congestion pricing would bring in $500m in revenue for the system. 42 percent of New Yorkers wanted to keep the programme, while 35 percent wanted to get rid of it.
