In recent developments, the Trump administration has decided to withdraw its support for the Central Business District Tolling Program, commonly known as congestion pricing. This program was intended to implement tolls in New York City aimed at reducing traffic congestion.

Senate Republican Leader Anthony M. Bucco (R-25) expressed his approval of this decision. He stated, "I would like to commend President Trump for his leadership and dedication to the people of New Jersey regarding his decision to eliminate the congestion pricing plan in New York City." Bucco emphasized that this move is beneficial not only for commuters who rely on transportation for their livelihoods but also relieves New Jersey residents from what he describes as an unfair financial burden imposed by these fees.

The statement underscores concerns about how such tolls could have affected those traveling between New Jersey and New York City, highlighting potential economic implications for daily commuters.
