NYC congestion scanners installed as NJ files lawsuit over ‘toll shopping’By Bernadette Hogan and Alyssa Guzman
July 21, 2023
It’s coming! New York has started installing toll radars on the West side of Manhattan to start charging congestion fees by Spring, but the New Jersey governor is fighting back.
New cashless systems are already popping up in the busy metropolitan that will charge commuters anywhere between $9 and $23 to enter the Big Apple come May.
Contractors were seen installing these radars along 61st Street and West End Avenue on Friday morning and more will be popping up all across the city from 60th Street down.
Congestion pricing is expected to go into effect in the Spring, but the Garden State is fighting back.
New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, 65, filed a lawsuit against the federal government in hopes of blocking the installations, which he claimed the feds short-circuited the traditional review process.
