Influential figures like teachers' unions, politicians like Rep. Gottheimer, and unions representing city government workers played crucial roles in rallying against the toll.
Bipartisan efforts, including Gov. Murphy's lawsuit, contributed to the issue becoming a cross-party battle and ultimately led to the toll being scrapped.
