(Reuters) -A U.S. judge will hold a hearing on Tuesday on the request of New York city and state and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority seeking a order to block the Trump administration from killing Manhattan’s congestion pricing program.

U.S. District Judge Lewis Liman will hold the preliminary injunction hearing one day before Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy has warned the government could begin withholding federal government approvals for New York projects. New York launched its first-in-the-nation program in January, charging most passenger vehicles a toll of $9 during peak periods to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street, in a bid to cut congestion and raise funds to improve mass transit.
