"This is just a cash grab for the MTA. They are desperate for dollars, so they look into hard-working commuters here from Jersey to be their piggy bank to pay their for the mismanagement," Gottheimer said."It said that congestion pricing will actually lead to more pollution and more traffic, specifically. You'll have backups of trucks outside of George Washington Bridge and the outer boroughs," Gottheimer said."I think it will reduce traffic," one person said.
"I am outraged at the Federal Highway Administration's decision to move forward with the Finding of No Significant Impact for New York's and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's Congestion Tax proposal without conducting a full and comprehensive review of the environmental impacts in New Jersey or the financial impact on low-income communities and commuters. This is nothing more than a cash grab to fund the MTA.
