Proposed federal legislation would bar congestion taxes on New Jersey residents driving into Manhattan’s “Central Business District” south of 60th Street.
The Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) wants to use the proceeds of the congestion taxes to help fund its capital projects. But U.S. Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-N.J.) and Chris Smith (R-N.J.) want to put the kibosh on the plan with H.R. 2523, the Anti-Congestion Tax Act.
