Reps. Rob Menendez and Josh Gottheimer said the plan would harm New Jersey communities.
“New York City wants this because they want cash in their pockets,” Rep. Rob Menendez said. “We’re going to keep fighting the cash-grabbing MTA.” | Anna Moneymaker/Getty ImagesNew York’s congestion pricing plan would harm New Jersey residents by pushing traffic and air pollution into communities surrounding the city, two Democratic members of Congress from North Jersey said Tuesday.
The congestion tax shifts money from the Port Authority to the MTA, Menendez said, which could threaten the Port Authority’s ability to improve the PATH service and add more riders. The MTA hasn’t determined how much to charge drivers, but options include fares ranging from $9 to $23 for passenger vehicles.
“New York’s congestion pricing plan stands to push traffic and pollution to our communities,” Menendez said. “While New York is funding environmental mitigation in the Bronx, they refuse to do so for our communities.”
