Brad Hoylman-Sigal, who represents part of Manhattan’s west side.

Ferguson noted that the Atlanta-based Delta, which has a major presence at JFK and LaGuardia, has scheduled 485 fewer flights from Canada for the second quarter of this year compared to the same period last year. That said, Ferguson noted that there hasn’t yet been a sweeping shift by U.S. carriers to reduce international flights.

State transit officials and the Trump administration have agreed to a legal timeline that will keep congestion pricing live at least into October, according to a new court document. The filing is part of a lawsuit filed by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority in federal court that seeks to block the Trump administration from forcing an end to the tolls. Both sides agreed to a briefing schedule that will not resolve the dispute until July at the earliest.
