Court decisions these days in the US are generally unenforceable.
What really matters is how this winds up in the court of public opinion, which will determine whether congestion pricing becomes a campaign issue in future elections (to the extent any such elections are held as scheduled).
As long as the program continues to win over more people, the toll wont be going anywhere. All that wonderful monthly data showing reduced traffic also helps.
A big win for Congestion Pricing was secured: A judge has managed to put a stop to Trump’s administration from trying to kill it. While the order is temporary and likely only symbolic, it proves that they can’t stop it and is in effect until June 9th. Some see this as the beginning of the end of the administration’s pointless and wasteful attacks on the program.

The NY Compost really hates anything good. Raising the NY Congestion fee is a no-brainer. The program is here to stay and not even the current administration has the power to do anything about it.
Driving in the London congestion zone is a status symbol for them.
In yet another big win for congestion pricing, the court has now ruled that the program can continue until a final decision is made in the case. This extends beyond the original June 9th extension granted by the court.

What to know about congestion pricing's future after Trump administration legal losses - Newsday (Paywwll Bypass)
We’re starting to see long-term results of Congestion Pricing. A new study came out that is exploring the program. In short, it’s working as intended.
Congestion Pricing keeps on winning.
That was incredible
Not really when you think about it.
Honestly it kind of is, especially when the opponents keep bungling their cases against it (ex: Duffy’s blunder), it’s still a win, particularly in the Court of Public Opinion where it really matters.
The opponents of the toll if they really cared about stopping it I’d think they would try a bit harder. Missing court dates, forgetting what you’re even suing, or having internal documents get leaked are not a good look.
It’s all working in our favor. 
As expected.

There is now a “spillover effect” of the toll’s benefits with some nearby NJ counties experiencing less traffic as well. Now that is a big win for NJ. So much for the popular opposition talking point that the program will increase traffic outside the zone!
Last month brought the highest monthly revenue since the cameras were switched on. As expected, there is less traffic, even with the summer months generally resulting in increased traffic, it’s actually down. June data will be quite interesting as well when it comes out. The program keeps on winning.
Allegedly as of June 2025, there has been 30% fewer traffic-related fatalities compared to 2024. Who knew that reducing cars and disencentivizing unnecessary trips makes streets safer and leads to less deaths.
And the recent data shows just how successful the program actually is. (It continues to show success and that it works)
Also, pollution is being reduced, even in areas initial projections said traffic would increase at (traffic did not increase due to the toll). This is great for city residents and the environment.
It’s been a while since we’ve heard positive things about Congestion Pricing, so here’s some new stuff, including better financial health for the MTA. This means that borrowing money will potentially cost less and will allow for lower costs to do upgrades and other work.
Of course, there’s less noise and better air quality, which further shows how beneficial the program continues to be.
On the bright side, Trump has other things on his mind right now.
More good news: another point of opposition has been disporven: Trucks are not being directed to the South Bronx to avoid the toll. This also coincides with less trucks using the Triboro Bridge as well while vehicle traffic has also not increased, either. Overall, the program continues to prove critics wrong and is working as intended.
There hasn’t been any news with respect to the congestion-pricing lawsuits for months.
Seems like the opponents could not sustain their rage.
It actually takes a lot of effort to be continuously angry for months on end! And not everyone has the fortitude for it.
The President has also had a sufficient amount of distractions to not be concerned with things such as this. He was one of the ones making demands as well and the detractors probably got used to it and moved on. Its been over 6 months already so the initial “shock” of it should have worn off.
