New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy is urging the federal government to re-examine
New York City’s plan to start charging motorists driving into midtown Manhattan,
saying an environmental review of the project is flawed.
Murphy’s request comes as the Federal Highway Administration could give final
approval of the tolling plan, the nation’s first-ever congestion pricing
initiative, as soon as Tuesday. Drivers may be charged as much as $23 to enter
south of 60th street, the city’s central business district.
While Murphy supports the concept of tolling into midtown Manhattan, he has said
the current proposal unfairly charges New Jersey commuters and puts Garden State
communities at risk of increased traffic and pollution. The initiative should
have undergone a full environmental review rather than a shorter evaluation, the
governor wrote in a 15-page letter to the FHWA dated Monday.
New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which operates the city’s
subways, buses and commuter rail roads, is implementing the tolling plan. Murphy
on Tuesday reiterated that his administration is reviewing all legal options.
“We take serious issue with any scheme that is designed not to lessen congestion
or pollution, but to line the coffers of the MTA on the backs of hardworking New
Jerseyans,” Murphy said in a statement.
NYC Drivers Face $23-a-Ride Congestion Fee as Soon as April 2024
Congestion pricing is expected to bring in $1 billion of new revenue every year
for the MTA to help finance capital projects and modernize the largest US
transit system. MTA officials anticipate the tolling program would reduce daily
traffic by as much as 20% and boost ridership on public transportation.

“The tolling plan’s effects on traffic and air quality throughout the region,
which showed overall regional benefits, have been exhaustively detailed in the
thousands of pages that constitute one of the longest and most comprehensive
environmental assessments produced since the establishment of the National
Environmental Policy Act of 1970,” John McCarthy, the MTA’s chief of external
relations, said in a statement Tuesday.

Drivers may start paying the toll as soon as April 2024. E-ZPass users could pay
as much as $23 during peak hours and $17 during off-peak periods.
Murphy points out the environmental assessment’s flaws in his letter to the
FHWA, stating it fails to address the potential increase in traffic and
pollution to New Jersey neighborhoods and would place unreasonable tolls on
commuter buses.
“Despite the limited environmental review conducted so far, what remains obvious
are the severe and long-lasting detriments that will be endured not just by our
commuters and transportation agencies, but by residents of environmental justice
communities who will see traffic unfairly redirected into their neighborhoods,”
Murphy said in his statement.
(Updates with comment from the MTA in the seventh paragraph.)
