NYC, MTA ask judge to ban Trump from killing congestion pricing, Reuters reports

The city of New York and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority on Monday asked a U.S. judge to block the Trump administration from terminating Manhattan’s congestion pricing program, Reuters’ David Shepardson reports. Lawyers for the city’s transportation department and the MTA are seeking an order to block Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s effort to shut down the program and his threat to withhold federal government approvals for other projects and potentially billions in funding, while New York State is also seeking a preliminary injunction to block the federal government from blocking the program. Companies likely to be impacted by the move include Lyft (LYFT) and Uber (UBER).
