(Reuters) – New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy on Monday asked President Donald Trump to reexamine the federal government’s approval of New York City’s first-in-the-nation congestion pricing program that began on Jan. 5.
Murphy, a Democrat, said the program is a “disaster for New Jersey commuters and must receive the close look it deserves from the federal government.”
Under the program, passenger vehicles are charged $9 during peak periods in Manhattan south of 60th Street. Trucks and buses pay up to $21.60. The fee is reduced by 75% at night.
