A temporary restraining order is another setback for President Donald Trump’s assertive use of executive power and a victory for New York Gov. Kathy Hochul and the MTA.

Congestion pricing involves using electronic tolling to charge vehicles $9 for entering Manhattan’s Congestion Relief Zone to reduce traffic and raise money for public transportation upgrades.
