A federal judge recently threw out key arguments from opponents suing to end the program and is expected to rule on the MTA’s case this fall.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned Gov. Kathy Hochul "New York risks serious consequences" unless it stops collecting congestion pricing tolls.

New York officials have said they would not halt collection of the toll unless ordered to do so by the courts.
