President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday ordered a halt to New York City’s congestion pricing system, which thins traffic and funds mass transit by imposing high tolls on drivers entering some parts of Manhattan.

Launched on Jan. 5, the city’s system uses license plate readers to impose a $9 toll on most passenger cars entering Manhattan neighborhoods south of Central Park. In its early days, transit officials say the toll has brought modest but measurable traffic reductions.

      Federal government has to approve tolls on interstates and Trump revoked the approval given by the previous administration. Though the other poster isn’t exactly wrong with the mayor Adams thing. That’s probably how they’ll ensure the toll booths don’t just move 2 ft off the interstate onto city/state property
