![Mary Altaffer FILE - Traffic traverses 42nd Street near Grand Central Terminal, in New York, Jan. 11, 2018. The trucking industry has joined the chorus of opponents that have lodged legal challenges to block New York’s first-in-the-nation congestion fee for driving into Manhattan. The Trucking Association of New York filed a federal lawsuit Thursday, May 30, 2024 against the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which developed the toll scheme, arguing the fees are unconstitutional because they unfairly target and penalize the trucking industry with higher fees.
