The resolution expresses the State of New Jersey's opposition to New York's congestion pricing plan, which aims to generate revenue for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) by imposing tolls on motor vehicle drivers entering Manhattan's central business district. Set to begin on January 5, 2025, the plan will charge most drivers a toll starting at $9, increasing to $12 in 2028 and $15 in 2031. The resolution highlights concerns that the plan will significantly impact New Jersey residents without providing any benefits to their transit services, such as New Jersey Transit or the Port Authority Trans-Hudson Corporation (PATH).

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the historical collaboration between New York and New Jersey on transportation and infrastructure issues, facilitated by the Port Authority. It argues that the lack of input from New Jersey lawmakers and business owners in the decision-making process surrounding the congestion pricing plan undermines this collaborative spirit. As a result, the resolution calls for New Jersey to formally oppose the implementation of New York's congestion pricing plan and directs that copies of the resolution be sent to relevant officials, including the Federal Highway Administration and state governors.
