NYPD congestion toll enforcement racks up nearly 200 tickets, 3 arrests and 27 vehicles seized —in just two days

MTA eyes new taxes, fees to plug $33B budget hole — even after NYC’s $9 congestion toll!
Nearly 200 people were slapped with tickets, three were arrested and more than two dozen vehicles were seized as NYPD officers went out to enforce the contentious congestion pricing plan in Manhattan this week, authorities said.
The department said 81 of the summonses were for improper or covered plates, which could mean plates that have a number or letter scratched off or painted over, as The Post observed on several vehicles Sunday — when the $9 toll kicked in.
Officers launched the enforcement effort on Tuesday within the congestion tolling zone below 60th Street, which effectively encompasses all of Manhattan south of Central Park.

The Trump administration is considering a move to halt New York City’s congestion pricing program, two people with knowledge of the matter, tell the New York Times. According to the report, the Department of Transportation is considering withdrawing their authorization that the tolling plan received from the Biden administration last year.

Trump can’t undo congestion pricing , not that easily. At least let it stay and see if it keeps doing well , even drivers are starting to like the trade off of paying a little more while getting by much quicker without all the traffic .
