A second bill, the bipartisan Stop NJ Congestion act, which was co-sponsored with the late U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell Jr,, D-9th Dist., would prevent the Congestion Tax from being implemented unless New York receives the consent of each affected state.

NEW YORK -- The reintroduction of New York City congestion pricing tolls will be discussed at an MTA board meeting today. Last week, Gov. Kathy Hochul announced she wants to launch congestion pricing in early January 2025, but she wants to lower the toll to enter Manhattan below 60th Street from $15 to $9.
