They aren't going along with it, as per their own legal filing against Sean Duffy. The MTA is going to continue to operate the congestion pricing program until a court of law says otherwise

Good, though I’m hesitant to be so optimistic given that the board kinda backtracked last time with Hochul.

The board did no such thing, the state withheld approval themselves and the MTA could not proceed without it. Now the status quo is that congestion pricing is the law of the land and the MTA gets to continue with it. And Hochul herself just stated that the state is going to stand to fight Duffy here

Hey I want to agree with you, I just think it’s an optimistic approach. You’re banking on a lot of people continuing to have a spine who historically have no spine.

Ultimately, we don’t know what’ll happen, and it’s naïve to not fight like hell for CP just because Hochul said she’d fight for it

I mean the MTA's own legal filing said that they're not going to stop operating the tolling until they're forced to, there's not much spine needed when they outright said it

I hope you’re right!
