NYT: New Jersey Challenges N.Y.C. Congestion Pricing in Federal Court
April 03, 2024 New Jersey has filed a lawsuit against New York’s congestion pricing program, arguing that it lacks sufficient consideration of the environmental impacts on neighboring states like New Jersey. The lawsuit challenges the Federal Highway Administration’s approval of the program and seeks a more comprehensive environmental study, potentially delaying the program’s implementation. The congestion pricing plan aims to reduce traffic in Manhattan’s central business district by charging most vehicles for entering during peak hours and is expected to raise funds for mass transit improvements. The lawsuit marks the first legal test of the congestion pricing program and has significant implications for its future. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/03/nyregion/nj-congestion-pricing-federal-court.html
