Gov. Phil Murphy Vetoes NJ Turnpike Authority Budget, Delaying Planned Toll Increase

Gov. Phil Murphy has vetoed the New Jersey Turnpike Authority’s 2024 budget, a decision that delays a planned 3% toll increase.

The Democratic governor announced his decision in a social media post made Thursday, stating he was not satisfied with the justification for the toll increase included in the agency's $2.6 billion budget. Murphy said he wants more information on why the hike is needed.
