Judge Leo Gordon's ruling confirms that congestion pricing can proceed on schedule, rejecting New Jersey's claims about the MTA's environmental assessments.
The ruling highlighted the MTA's $155-million environmental mitigations, leading Judge Gordon to conclude that congestion pricing wouldn't significantly harm environmental justice communities.
Gordon noted that New Jersey's arguments reflected a shifting of the goalposts and emphasized that the MTA's assessments were thorough and adequate.
Judge Gordon's only concession was ordering the MTA to pay closer attention to potential environmental hot spots in New Jersey.
