Republican members of Congress have criticized congestion pricing as a “cash grab’ that will hurt middle-class workers.

They’ve secured a key ally: President-elect Donald J. Trump , a former New Yorker who has come out firmly opposed to congestion pricing.

Trump could theoretically withhold final approval from the project, though the Biden administration approved it in 2023 .

The tolls are used to fund bonds that the MTA issues to fund projects that are intended to improve mass transportation systems in New York .

Opponents have questioned whether the toll will actually work to decrease the number of drivers who commute into the city in personal vehicles.

Republican lawmakers in both New York’s congressional delegation and those elected to state office have increased their criticism.
