The MTA is vowing to fight back and take the decision to federal court to ensure the plan will continue.

The U.S. Department of Transportation has pulled its approval for the MTA 's congestion pricing toll program.

The city's system uses license plate readers to impose a $ 9 toll on most vehicles entering Manhattan neighborhoods south of Central Park .

In its early days , transit officials said the toll has brought modest but measurable traffic reductions.

Gov. Phil Murphy of neighboring New Jersey fought it in court and wrote a letter to Trump on Inauguration Day imploring him to kill it.

Hochul halted the tolling system's planned launch last June citing concerns about its impact on the local economy.

The Democrat then revived the toll in November following Trump 's election.
