February 19, 2025

(February 19, 2025) WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Congressman Tom Kean, Jr. (NJ-07) released the following statement following President Trump’s withdrawal of New York City’s congestion pricing program. Earlier today, the Department of Transportation announced it has terminated its approval for the pilot program, which rolled out on January 5, 2025. 

 “Thank you, President Trump, for listening to New Jersey’s concerns and ending Congestion Pricing. From the very beginning, I have opposed this deeply flawed program that unfairly targeted New Jerseyans and all those who commute into Manhattan. This was nothing more than a money grab on New Jersey taxpayers. I have made it a priority in my discussions directly with President Trump as well as my House colleagues on both sides of the aisle. This is a huge victory, and we will never stop standing up for New Jersey.” - Congressman Tom Kean, Jr.
