Contrary to the lies in the tweet, congestion pricing is not dead. From this article, for example:

There was no precedent for federal officials to revoke approval for a major transportation project in New York, especially one that was working, said Michael Gerrard, a Columbia Law School professor who supports congestion pricing. He said he did not believe the federal government had the legal authority to halt the tolling program.

“It is certainly not dead by any means,” he said. “Secretary Duffy has issued an order of questionable legality.”

    This is what I came here for. Like states rights let alone this a metro law, he has no standing rights to even think about this. I dont even think that the money is going to the feds in any way, so this is just outright overreach. Are the tolls still being collected or did they stop at the booths even tho the law still stands?
