With one day left to go on the Trump administration’s March 21 deadline for New York to end its congestion pricing toll, Secretary of Transportation Sean Duffy posted a “30-day extension” notice to social media Thursday afternoon.
While Duffy restated the administration’s demand for Gov. Hochul to end the tolling program, which charges most motorists $9 a day to drive south of 60th St. in Manhattan, he also extended the window 30 days as talks are ongoing.
“The federal government and @POTUS are putting New York on notice,” Duffy wrote in an X post addressed to Gov. Hochul. “Your refusal to end cordon pricing and your open disrespect toward the federal government is unacceptable,” he continued…
The delay comes as New York elected officials and transit honchos reaffirmed their intention to ignore the federal deadline absent a court order.
