Marc Molinaro, a former Republican congressman, would steer the Federal Transit Administration, which supports mass transit systems nationwide.

Trip times fell by 15% in the Queens-Midtown Tunnel, and by 30% on the Queensboro, Manhattan and Williamsburg bridges, according to the MTA.

New York's congestion pricing has led to 1 million total fewer vehicles entering the busiest part of Manhattan and cut commuting times since the program began on Jan. 5, a transit agency said on Wednesday.

Crucially, the authority's board — including members appointed by Murphy — signed off on the new fiscal plan on Dec. 12, nearly a month after New York Gov. Hochul un-paused congestion pricing, indicating that the Jersey leader's supposed concern is no more than a "political stunt," according to one watchdog.

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.

Last June, Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered the MTA to pause a planned $15 congestion toll to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street, with revenues used to finance the transit agency’s capital construction program. In November following the elections, she pushed through a lower $9 toll that was approved by the MTA board.
