NORTH JERSEY — Today, Monday, October 2, 2023, U.S. Congressman Josh Gottheimer (NJ-5) released the following statement in response to New York and the MTA’s Traffic Mobility Review Board new Congestion Tax $4 credit scenarios.

“New York’s newest Congestion Tax scenarios confirm our worst nightmare. It will increase toxic, cancer-causing pollutants in North Jersey, cost Jersey commuters thousands of dollars more a year to drive into Manhattan, and lead to more truck and car traffic by the GW Bridge and Lincoln Tunnel. The proposed credits are a joke compared to what this will cost families every day. The credits don’t even apply to the George Washington Bridge. How can we take these scenarios seriously when New York is already putting up toll cameras that will whack Jersey drivers?”
