Bill Summary
This resolution expresses opposition to New York's plan to implement a central business district tolling program, which is commonly referred to as New York's congestion pricing plan. The plan establishes a toll to charge motor vehicle drivers that enter Manhattan's central business district, which consists of the area of Manhattan south of and inclusive of 60th Street. Under the current plan, most drivers will pay a toll of $9 to enter Manhattan's central business district starting on January 5, 2025, which toll will then increase to $12 in 2028 and $15 in 2031. While the residents of New Jersey and its public officials understand the importance of reducing traffic congestion, adequately funding transportation, and strengthening the economic vitality of the region, the fact that no New Jersey lawmakers or business owners have any input or decision-making power over the plan makes it clear that the State of New Jersey must oppose New York's congestion pricing plan.
AI Summary
This resolution expresses opposition to New York's plan to implement a central business district tolling program, commonly known as congestion pricing, which will charge drivers entering Manhattan south of 60th Street a toll starting at $9 in January 2025 and increasing over time. While acknowledging the importance of reducing traffic and funding transportation, New Jersey officials and residents object because they had no input in the plan's development, which they believe will negatively impact New Jersey residents without benefiting their transit services, despite a history of collaboration between the two states on transportation projects like the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
