New Jersey gov says Cuomo promised Garden State drivers exemption from congestion pricing

New Jersey drivers may have a new savior: Gov. Cuomo.

Garden State residents who drive into Manhattan through Hudson River toll entrances won’t have to pay a congestion tax, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy said at a Bergen County press conference Wednesday. That would save New Jersey residents from a double-hit when congestion pricing takes effect in 2021.

Murphy said the promise was made by Cuomo during a conversation the two governors had last week.
