The program uses electronic license plate readers and charges most drivers a $9 toll during peak periods to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street in an attempt to reduce congestion and raise funds to improve mass transit.
Months after it began, the city said it reduced traffic in the impacted areas by 8% to 13%.
Trump has long voiced criticism of the congestion pricing program.
