Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie is advocating for a significant strategy to combat congestion pricing effects on Garden State drivers. He suggests that Governor Phil Murphy use his position at the Port Authority to halt funding for key New York projects, specifically renovations at JFK and LaGuardia, until New Jersey receives a more equitable arrangement. Christie highlights the unfairness of current toll structures and insists that New Jersey commuters deserve a more substantial credit against the congestion fees to counterbalance toll increases.
"You want to have congestion pricing? We're going to stop these projects until New Jersey gets a better deal."
"This is a much bigger problem for New Jersey. New York is going to continue to raise the tolls. This is a New Jersey problem that has to be fixed."
