Judge to Decide on New Jersey's Challenge Against NYC Congestion Pricing Plan

New Jersey argues the $15 congestion toll displaces pollution and unfairly burdens its residents, seeking a comprehensive environmental review.

New Jersey has sued to block NYC's $15 congestion toll, claiming it displaces pollution and burdens Garden State residents.
The lawsuit argues for a comprehensive environmental review, contending the plan was approved without considering its full impact.
In court, New Jersey's legal team emphasized the economic and environmental strain on its residents, while NYC and federal officials defended the plan.
The congestion pricing is expected to raise $1 billion annually for MTA, but New Jersey argues it receives none of the benefits.
Judge Leo Gordon is expected to rule on the matter, with New Jersey requesting delay until further research is conducted.
