New York’s public transit system will stop work on a planned subway line expansion and retreat from other maintenance and improvement projects because of a $16.5 billion shortfall caused by Gov. Kathy Hochul’s decision to halt a plan to fund the projects through “congestion” tolls imposed on Manhattan drivers.

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority board took a formal vote Wednesday to delay the tolling program. It had been on track to launch June 30 before Hochul’s surprise announcement of an unspecified “pause” in implementing the program.
