Are you kidding me?
President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday ordered a halt to New York City’s congestion pricing system, which thins traffic and funds mass transit by imposing high tolls on drivers entering some parts of Manhattan.
Launched on Jan. 5, the city’s system uses license plate readers to impose a $9 toll on most passenger cars entering Manhattan neighborhoods south of Central Park. In its early days, transit officials say the toll has brought modest but measurable traffic reductions.
What authority do the feds have here? More nonsense to demoralize and distract.
The interstate bridges and tunnels that go into New York City are owned and run by the Port Authority, which has federal oversight in addition to oversight from the states of New Jersey and New York.
What does this have to do with the downtown congestion pricing?
The bridges and tunnels are where they collect the tolls for people coming into Manhattan. Also, on the ferries, which are also run by the Port Authority
It sounds like they need to collect the toll right after the tunnel then.
So no authority
None.
