Like New Jersey, Staten Island is attacking the plan's environmental and pricing impact on commuters.
"New Jersey has its approach we’re going to come up with our own approach," Fossella said. "And we have to give it our best shot."

"The MTA in New York City has admitted it this is a financial fix more than it is an environmental fix," said Gov. Murphy on Face the Nation Sunday. The borough doesn't have a rail system, and many say they have no choice but to take their car to Manhattan. The price of the toll has yet to be determined acre range anywhere from nine to $23. At $23 per driver, five days a week, for 50 weeks that comes to $5,750 a year. "That’s a car payment" Fossella said.
