New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's plan to ease transport gridlock in Manhattan with a congestion charge has been blocked by the state's assembly.
The scheme would have charged most drivers $8 to enter the city's centre between 0600 and 1800 on weekdays.
New York will now forfeit a $354m federal grant intended to kick-start the initiative, which aimed to persuade drivers to use public transport.
