2017 NJ Governor's race: on Technology

Phil Murphy: Share congestion pricing revenue between NYC and NJ

Under the plan, drivers using the Lincoln Tunnel and Holland Tunnel would receive a credit based on what they pay in tolls. However, no break would be offered to motorists taking the George Washington Bridge, as noted by Gov. Phil Murphy in a letter to N.Y. Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Murphy, in his letter to Cuomo, asked Cuomo to consider sharing some of the revenue with NJ Transit and PATH. According to AAA Northeast, which opposes the plan, 80% of the revenues will go toward the subways. The Long Island and Metro-north railroads each would get 10 percent [while NJ transit would get none]. Cuomo had not publicly responded as of Monday afternoon.

Steve Fulop: Congestion pricing leads to "race to zero" for NYC vs. NJ

"We can do the same thing," Fulop said, adding that, rather than engaging in a "race to zero for both sides," he would rather see New York working with New Jersey on long-term transportation planning. Problem is, all of the revenues will be going toward New York, not to additional trains and infrastructure improvements in New Jersey.

This concerns Fulop. "There's a lot of different-type transit issues that are under-funded, not just the MTA," Fulop said, referring to the agency that oversees the subways.

Implement Transportation Solutions: Instead of massive gas tax hikes and toll increases, New Jersey must develop a sustainable, long-term infrastructure plan to fund our state's urgent infrastructure needs.
