NJ Keeps Up Fight, but NYC Congestion Pricing Set to Start Sunday

Defiant New Jersey officials hoping to at least stall New York’s congestion pricing plan rallied Thursday in Fort Lee to insist they do still have a legal case to make, despite a Monday court ruling that rejected most of their arguments. The judge’s decision appeared to green-light the $9-per-car toll the Metropolitan Transportation Authority is scheduled to launch on Sunday (1/5) for vehicles crossing into Manhattan south of 60th Street. But that’s not how gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-5th) sees it.
