New York’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority, which plans to charge drivers entering midtown Manhattan, wants to join the federal government against New Jersey’s lawsuit that seeks to block the new fee, called congestion pricing.
The state-run MTA, the nation’s largest transit provider, filed late Friday a motion to intervene in the case and defend the new tolling program, according to court documents.
