"Can you point me to a case where have we ever suggested the right to travel has been violated when you charge tolls to people even though they don't have an alternative way of traveling? We charge tolls all the time..."
The Second Circuit Court of Appeals heard arguments regarding New York's congestion pricing program, which charges a $9 toll for vehicles entering downtown Manhattan's business district. Rockland and Orange counties challenged the program as unconstitutional, claiming it violates drivers' right to travel. The judges expressed doubt about both the merits of the constitutional claim and their own jurisdiction to hear the case. The court noted that toll systems are commonly used across the country without being deemed violations of travel rights, even when drivers lack alternative routes.
