"Feds Approve NYC Congestion Pricing Plan Despite Democratic Opposition"

The Biden administration has approved a congestion pricing plan backed by New York state leaders to charge commuters an increased fee to enter Manhattan in an effort to reduce congestion and improve the city's air quality. The plan has faced fierce opposition from fellow Democrat New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy and a wide coalition of bipartisan federal lawmakers. The congestion pricing plan is projected to boost state revenue by about $1 billion and is set to begin implementation in less than 12 months.
