New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is opposing New York City’s congestion pricing plan, deeming it unfair to New Jersey commuters. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) has received federal approval for the plan, which will charge $9 for most vehicles entering Manhattan below 60th Street and higher fees for trucks. Murphy criticized the lack of New Jersey’s involvement in discussions and called for a revenue-sharing agreement. He expressed concerns about increased traffic and pollution around the George Washington Bridge, while New York Governor Kathy Hochul defended the plan as beneficial for families and the MTA’s funding.
