New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is determined to block New York City's congestion pricing plan, stating, “We’re going to try like heck” to stop it. However, he is open to negotiations that would allow a portion of the revenue to benefit New Jersey, urging the MTA to explore alternative funding options.
New York"s congestion pricing plan, set to charge most drivers $9 to enter Manhattan"s tolling zone starting January 5, faces a legal challenge from New Jersey, which argues for further federal environmental review. Governor Murphy claims the toll will worsen congestion and pollution in New Jersey, while the MTA anticipates the program will generate $15 billion for transit improvements. The plan"s future hinges on federal approval, which may be complicated by the incoming Trump administration"s opposition to the toll.
New York City will implement a congestion pricing plan starting January 5, charging motorists a fee to enter crowded midtown Manhattan. The initiative, aimed at reducing traffic and pollution while funding public transit, was initially halted but has now been revised with a 40% lower fee of $9, set to rise to $15 by 2031. This revival may lead to conflict with President-elect Donald Trump, who has threatened to end the program.

Governor Hochul"s revival of the initiative follows opposition from President-elect Trump, who has vowed to terminate it.
New York City transit officials are poised to vote on a revised toll program that will charge most motorists $9 to enter large sections of Manhattan starting in January, with the fee increasing to $15 by 2031. This revenue will support the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's efforts to modernize its aging transit system, which has faced significant delays and requires upgrades. Governor Kathy Hochul has revived the tolling plan, reducing the original pricing structure by 40%.
