New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has expressed a strong commitment to opposing New York City's congestion pricing plan, stating that efforts will be made to prevent its implementation.
Murphy highlighted concerns about the potential impact on New Jersey commuters and the need for alternative funding solutions for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).
While opposing the congestion pricing initiative, Murphy also expressed a willingness to negotiate terms that would allow New Jersey to receive a share of the revenue generated from the plan. This suggests a potential opportunity for collaboration between the two states as they both address transportation funding challenges and consider the implications for residents and commuters.
