    Ok...then NJ can install EZ-Pass Scanners for NY drivers to pay a hefty congestion price for when they enter the Garden State. Also, our New Jersey state government should update our transportation laws and not allow NY ridershare drivers to pick up rides in New Jersey for the same reason TLC of NYC prohibits NJ drivers to pick up riders in their city. New Jersey also needs money to improve our public transit system (trains, buses, shuttles, ferries etc.), which is mainly to serve one purpose so we can everyday transport our commuters to NYC for work. It seems NYC never has enough funds, so they came up with another genius idea on how to raise more money. Well we need to do the same here in New Jersey, that's fair...right?

    • @Starbrahan72
      @Starbrahan72 9 днів тому +1

      I mean, yeah feel free to advocate for that. I don’t think the structure is there to justify pricing people out from driving into New Jersey, because most city residents aren’t consistently doing that back and forth on a day to day basis. If you look at the pattern for rush hour traffic, the people most likely to be impacted by what you’re suggesting are the drivers creating congestion commuting back to NJ at the end of the workday.
      Also, NJ desperately needs funding a lot of crap (particularly teachers pensions). That state deficit isn’t looking great. That’s not including the fact the NJ transit doesn’t have a direct source for funding and faces a 1 billion dollar deficit in 2026. If both state governments worked together to agree on some revenue sharing (which New York’s politicians have already conceded would only be fair) maybe NJ transit could get its first steady funding source…

      Maybe not there, but the northern boarder and GW sees a hefty amount of NY traffic going into northern counties to save on the sales tax. There were discussions on putting in tolls on major roads and reimbursement back to NJ residents, but that didn't go far.

    Totally against congestion pricing, but how is taking the GWB gonna avoid the congestion zone if your ultimate destination is below 60th Street? You just gonna magically find tons of parking uptown and hop a subway? Why not just park in Jersey and hop a train or bus to Manhattan?

      @edwardp3502 10 днів тому +1

      @ Why in God’s name would anyone take the Lincoln or Holland tunnels to get from NJ to Long Island even now? There’s no expressway linking the tunnels to Queens/Long Island and they have to fight all that local crosstown traffic. If they opt for the GWB, they still have to pay tolls on the Triboro Bridge or the other MTA bridges between the Bronx and Queens. Again, I’m in no way for this cash grab, but I’m calling BS on Jersey’s reasoning. They just don’t want to pay the ransom (and I don’t blame them).

      That’s one of my concerns for residents in the Bronx. The populous who live between all the highways (south of the cross bronx, east of the Deegan, West of the Sheridan and north of the bruckner) suffer from some of the highest asthma rates in the country. There will be projected traffic increases in those areas from added commuters on highways. There are also opportunities for parking lots in areas around Yankee stadium and other spots post GWB to increase prices for parking amidst an increase for demand.
      Congestion pricing is apparently going to pay for an asthma research center in the Bronx, to what effect I can only speculate.
      As for why not take a bus or train from NJ, I’m hoping NYS and NJ can sit at a table to agree on revenue sharing to give the NJ transit an actual steady funding source so it can tackle its shortfalls in service and reliably get people into Manhattan. Having an upcoming 1 billion deficit for the transit agency and projecting the gateway tunnel to be finished in a decade won’t be a good look for people waiting on a Penn station bound train to cross the river post Secaucus Junction. It’s not going to look pretty for NJ transit to absorb the increased ridership, but hopefully it gets the funding it needs to improve the situation at hand
