New Jersey mayor floats 'reverse congestion pricing' toll in response to NYC's controversial toll
Share and Follow

A New Jersey mayor is proposing the idea of a reverse congestion pricing toll after New York City implemented its controversial congestion pricing toll last week.

Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, who is also running for governor of the Garden State, floated the idea, according to Fox 5 New York.

“New Jersey has the same opportunity to push the buttons that New York is pushing against us,” Fulop told the outlet. “We could do that to them, but the goal is to get to a table to have a reasonable solution.”

The details of Fulop’s proposal are not yet finalized, but he said gantries or toll sites could be stationed outside of tunnels and bridges in New Jersey.

He said that, similar to congestion pricing, there may be exemptions or crossing credits.

It is unclear if New Jersey residents would be required to pay the toll to reenter their home state like some New Yorkers do for congestion pricing.
