Opponents of congestion pricing are railing against Gov. Hochul's plan to revive the controversial first-in-the-nation "congestion" pricing toll to enter Manhattan's business district -- before President -elect Donald Trump takes office on January 20.

But so did Trump, who has vowed to terminate congestion pricing once he returns to the Oval Office in less than two months. Hochul long insisted the program would eventually reemerge, but previously offered no clear plan for that — or to replace the billions of dollars in was supposed to generate to help New York City’s ailing public transit system.
