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 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 local 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 implementation of the congestion pricing plan without input from New Jersey lawmakers or business owners undermines this collaborative spirit and could negatively affect the region's economic vitality. As a result, the resolution calls for formal opposition to the congestion pricing plan and mandates that copies be sent to relevant officials, including the Federal Highway Administration and state governors.
