The resolution expresses the State of New Jersey's opposition to New York's congestion pricing plan, which is set to implement a toll for motor vehicle drivers entering Manhattan's central business district starting January 5, 2025. The plan, approved by the Federal Highway Administration, will charge most drivers $9 initially, with increases to $12 in 2028 and $15 in 2031. While acknowledging the importance of reducing traffic congestion and funding transportation, the resolution highlights concerns that New Jersey residents and officials have not been included in the decision-making process, despite the potential significant impact on them.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the historical collaboration between New York and New Jersey on transportation and infrastructure issues, which has been facilitated through the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey. The lack of input from New Jersey lawmakers and business owners regarding the congestion pricing plan is seen as undermining this collaborative spirit. As a result, the resolution calls for formal opposition to the plan and directs that copies be sent to relevant officials, including the Federal Highway Administration and governors of both states.
