The state of New Jersey filed a court challenge on Friday against New York’s congestion pricing plan, the high-profile tolling effort that could charge drivers up to $23 to enter central Manhattan during peak hours.
The lawsuit challenges the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration’s decision to approve the congestion toll under environmental law using an environmental assessment review process rather than the considerably more in-depth environmental impact statement, or EIS.Gov. Phil Murphy , a staunch critic of the plan, has said his requests for an EIS were ignored by the Biden administration, which approved the congestion pricing plan late last month.
“We believe the feds short-circuited the normal review process,” Murphy said on Friday in an interview on Good Day New York.For the New York City congestion pricing plan, a shorter environmental assessment was performed, and it included a finding of no significant impact.
