President Donald Trump and New York Gov. Kathy Hochul have spoken about ending congestion pricing, a highly-placed source said.

President Donald Trump has maintained his opposition to congestion pricing in New York and has spoken to Gov. Kathy Hochul (D-NY) twice in the past week about it. Hochul wants to keep the program, which has resulted in 1 million fewer vehicles entering the congested spots in Manhattan since its start on Jan.

The New York City tolling program began on Jan. 5 after defying obstacles for decades. A move to stop it would likely touch off a legal battle between the state and federal government.

President Donald Trump may move to halt congestion pricing in New York City, a move that may be welcomed by Gov. Phil Murphy, who has opposed it.

Trump has repeatedly stated he opposes the MTA congestion tolling plan, which charges most motorists $9 a day to enter Manhattan south of 60th St.

According to a source familiar with the matter, Trump and Hochul spoke twice this week, discussing a range of issues, including New York City's congestion pricing.

A source familiar says Trump and Hochul talked twice this week over the phone, with the President saying he’ll make a decision over what to do about the much-maligned toll next week.

New York City’s congestion pricing program has been in effect for nearly a month, charging drivers $9 to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street. While some residents say traffic has improved, the Trump administration is reportedly considering pulling federal approval for the tolling plan.
