NJ’s Murphy Urges Federal Officials to Reconsider NYC Toll Plan

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.
