President Donald Trump has maintained his opposition to congestion pricing in New York and has spoken to Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) twice in the past week about it. Hochul wants to keep the program, which has resulted in 1 million fewer vehicles entering the congested spots in Manhattan since its start on Jan.

According to a source familiar with the matter, Trump and Hochul spoke twice this week, discussing a range of issues, including New York City's congestion pricing.

The New York City tolling program began on Jan. 5 after defying obstacles for decades. A move to stop it would likely touch off a legal battle between the state and federal government.

President Donald Trump and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have spoken about ending congestion pricing, a highly-placed source said.

The Donald Trump Department of Transportation is actively considering its options to kill New York’s congestion pricing plan, just three weeks after it started, two sources told The New York Times. The paper reported Thursday that the Trump administration is weighing whether it can pull the plug on “a key federal authorization” granted by the Biden administration last year.

President Donald Trump may move to halt congestion pricing in New York City, a move that may be welcomed by Gov. Phil Murphy, who has opposed it.

A source familiar says Trump and Hochul talked twice this week over the phone, with the President saying he’ll make a decision over what to do about the much-maligned toll next week.
