Congestion pricing is coming to NY. What’s the impact on NJ?
Curtis Tate North Jersey Record Published 5:43 AM EST Feb 5, 2019 New Jersey drivers already pay tolls to enter Manhattan via Hudson River crossings. What if they had to pay more on top of that? New York is poised to implement congestion pricing in Manhattan's core, from 60th Street south. Under the proposal, cars would be charged $11.52, one way, to enter the zone.

There is no precise number available, given the private ownership structure and secrecy around these businesses.

President Trump is enjoying his 10-day vacation doing what he loves most, campaigning. (BEGIN VIDEO CLIP) DONALD TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: A hundred years, I guess, 125 years, whoever has the White House, that party tends to lose the midterms. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE) TRUMP: Look, if the Democrats get in, they're going to raise your taxes. You're going to have crime all over the place. You're going to have people pouring across the border.
