NEW YORK — Attorneys for the federal government said in court Wednesday that Trump Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy is “still evaluating his options” for what comes next if the MTA doesn’t shut down congestion pricing by his Easter Sunday deadline.

“The secretary, however, is still evaluating what DOT’s options are if New York City does not comply,” she continued. “There has been no final decision as to what, if anything, will occur on April 20.” View the full article: CA.News.Yahoo.com
