As the legal battle over congestion pricing in New York City remains up in the air, new data is expected to be released Monday showing how much money the tolls have raised for the MTA.The New York Times reports the number was nearly $50 million in January,

Congestion pricing is working, MTA officials said Monday, releasing data that showed the congestion pricing toll generated $48.7 million in gross revenue for January. The revenue data comes as the Trump administration seeks to kill the congestion toll by revoking a federal authorization given last year allowing the MTA to fund the capital plan with toll revenue.

As New York City barrels toward the end of two months of congestion pricing, and the president’s looming threat to close the toll program, the MTA has shared receipts of the first month of revenue.

Weber is among the Republicans who are calling for a full audit of the fiscal administration of the MTA, arguing that the agency’s $19 billion budget is ripe for a review that could help the state cut costs. “We need to do an up and down, thorough review and a forensic audit of the MTA budget,” Weber said.

MTA officials said congestion pricing has already reduced gridlock in Manhattan, one of the program's key goals. Travel times on every crossing into the congestion zone decreased between 10% and 30% on average in the first three weeks of the program, according to the agency.

New York City's congestion pricing program generated $48.6 million in its first month, even as President Donald Trump moves to kill the toll system.

New York City’s new toll on motorists driving into Manhattan’s busiest areas raised $48.6 million in its first month, as President Trump is seeking to end the congestion pricing program just weeks after it began.
