Statement from NYC Comptroller Lander on Court Ruling Protecting Congestion Pricing from Trump Administration Overreach 

New York, NY — In response to Judge Lewis Liman’s ruling to block the federal government from withholding funds and grant the MTA a temporary restraining order against the Trump Administration’s illegal attempts to stop congestion pricing, New York City Brad Lander released the following statement: 

“Today’s ruling is a promising outcome for New Yorkers who are already experiencing the benefits of a city with less traffic, cleaner air, and faster transit service. Because of the tireless efforts of straphangers, transit advocates, and local leaders to get congestion pricing implemented, New York is on its way toward the $15 billion it needs to modernize our signals for faster trains and install elevators for more accessible stations.   

“We look forward to seeing the MTA prevail against Sean Duffy and Donald Trump’s bogus lawsuit in court.”
