Gov. Phil Murphy says the new congestion plan is one that he cannot accept, citing the financial and environmental burdens it would have on New Jersey commuters.
, Gov. Murphy announced his decision to sue based on the financial and environmental impacts the plan would have on New Jersey communities especially. "We believe the Feds short-circuited the normal review process here, and we are going to sue effective today to ask that they in fact go through that full process," Murphy said.
Gov. Murphy added there were several discrepancies in the plan given that New Jersey commuters don't have many alternatives. "It brings me no joy to do this, because I have nothing but enormous regard for Governor Hochul and her team."This week, a panel convened in New York to determine how much commuters will be charged to drive into Manhattan under the MTA's congestion pricing plan.
The Traffic Mobility Review Board is a six member panel that recommends prices, credits, discounts and or exemptions for drivers.
