Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy today announced that the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration is terminating the approval of the New York Central Business District Tolling Program (CBDTP) – a cordon pricing program proposed under the Value Pricing Pilot Program (VPPP).  Transportation and Infrastructure Committee Chairman Sam Graves (R-MO) and Highways and Transit Subcommittee Chairman David Rouzer (R-NC) commended the Trump Administration for working with New York and New Jersey area Republican Members of Congress leading up to today’s action.

Joint statement from Chairmen Graves and Rouzer:

“We commend President Trump and Secretary Duffy for acting to provide relief for hardworking families, commuters, small businesses, truckers, and more throughout the New York metropolitan area.  In particular, we applaud our Republican House of Representatives colleagues in the New York and New Jersey delegations for their relentless efforts to stand up for their constituents, share their concerns with the Trump Administration, and get results.”
