Governor Kathy Hochul criticized New Jersey while defending her congestion pricing plan during a discussion with President Trump. She found offense in US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy citing New Jersey's opposition to the plan. Hochul emphasized that the pricing, which charges drivers $9 to enter certain Manhattan areas, aims to lessen congestion and improve travel time. Despite her sharp comments about New Jersey, she acknowledged its residents' contributions to New York's economy and encouraged their visits, stating that the pricing would ultimately benefit travelers by saving time.
If you're driving, I just gave you the gift of time. Yes, I'm sorry there's a cost to it, but that's what the concept of congestion pricing is all about.
First of all, the most offensive thing I found in the letter from Sean Duffy was citing New Jersey, saying they don't like this program.
What do we care what New Jersey thinks? I'm from Jersey, but I want New Jersey residents to come here.
It's a lovely place. But you know what? Your ride in if you are taking the tunnels - it's 48% faster.
