Malliotakis Statement on Hochul's March 21 Deadline to Shut Off Congestion Tax

Image February 26, 2025 Press Release (NEW YORK, NY) – Congresswoman Nicole Malliotakis issued the following statement regarding the Trump Administration’s order to halt New York City's congestion pricing cameras by March 21. “The cash grab is over. Governor Hochul needs to follow the law and turn the congestion pricing cameras off. She and the MTA knew they were skirting federal law in cahoots with the Biden Administration when the Federal Highway Administration rubber-stamped this congestion pricing scheme without a full and thorough environmental impact study, as required under the National Environmental Policy Act. Now that President Trump’s administration rescinded the approval, there is no question that these cameras are operating in violation of the law. Turn them off!”
