There were indications on Tuesday morning that congestion pricing could be in effect through October, but Tuesday afternoon, the federal government said that's not so.

According to this statement from the U.S. Department of Transportation on Tuesday afternoon, they still find the "pricing scheme illegal" and the "deadline to stop toll collection has not changed," which is "later this month.''

The social post came in response to reports about a recent legal filing that included an updated court timeline that could stretch into this October.

Congestion pricing means all drivers must pay a charge each time they enter Manhattan at or below 60th Street.

Rockland County has been fierce vocal opponents of the plan which would benefit the MTA.

"With the federal government, I would ask them to simply is to look at the fairness and the inclusivity of this whole effort and see it for what it is," said Rockland County Executive Ed Day. "This is a money grab by the MTA."

The MTA did not have a comment regarding the court filing.

Ciro Riccardi, director of communications for Rep. Mike Lawler responded to the latest congestion pricing news in a statement saying, 'The USDOT’s position reinforces Rep. Mike Lawler’s stance, labeling the congestion pricing scheme as illegal and a form of class warfare targeting working Americans.'"
