Sean Duffy extends deadline for NY Gov Hochul to end congestion pricing tolls

Transport Minister Sean Duffy warned on Monday, the Governor of New York Cathe Hutchoul, that the state “risks severe consequences” if it fails to end its congestion by May 21, according to a message obtained by Fox News.

In the letter, Duffy New York gave another month to close it or explain the reason that the state did not violate the law of $ 9 for most vehicles entering the essence of Manhattan South Central Park. If the state fails to do this, Duffy said it is risked by losing financing and federal approvals for some projects from the management of federal highways.

“The federal government is sending billions of dollars to New York – but we will not cultivate the draft law if the Hochol continues to implement an illegal number to cancel the budget of the failed transportation system in New York.” “We give New York a last opportunity to return or prove that their actions are not illegal.”

Duffy New York initially gave until March 21 to stop charging the outcome. When the state’s Urban Transport Authority challenged Duffy’s decision in the Federal Court, Duffy extended the deadline for an additional month until April 20.
