The Trump administration said on Wednesday it was rescinding federal approval of New York City's congestion pricing program that is designed to reduce traffic and raise money to upgrade aging subway and bus systems.
U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said the move will halt a program that "leaves drivers without any free highway alternative, and instead, takes more money from working people to pay for a transit system and not highways.
Metropolitan Transportation Authority and a New York bridge authority quickly filed suit in Manhattan seeking to block the move.
