New Jersey is suing the Federal Highway Administration for neglecting to take into account the environmental impact of New Jersey communities when it gave the green light to congestion pricing in Manhattan.
New Jersey is suing over the MTA's congestion pricing plan.
Governor Phil Murphy is set to make the announcement Friday morning in Fort Lee alongside Senator Bob Menendez and Rep. Josh Gottheimer. The state is suing the Federal Highway Administration for neglecting to take into account the environmental impact of New Jersey communities when it gave the green light to congestion pricing in Manhattan.
Although the lawsuit is against the Biden Administration's FHWA, it is effectively a shot across the Hudson River at New York State and neighboring Governor Kathy Hochul. The state last month hired lawyers Randy Mastro and Craig Carpenito, a former U.S. attorney, to "explore all of our legal options, and we anticipate announcing a course of action soon."
