Gov. Phil Murphy wrote a letter to the president saying that the surcharge on drivers entering Manhattan’s busiest area was a “disaster” for commuters and residents in his state.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy on Monday asked President Donald Trump to reexamine the federal government's approval of New York City's first-in-the-nation congestion pricing program that began on Jan.

Hours after Donald Trump was sworn into office as the president, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy asked him to review federal approval of New York’s congestion pricing program, which costs New Jersey drivers an additional $9 to enter midtown Manhattan.

A federal judge allowed the MTA to turn on its congestion pricing tolls Sunday, even though New York and New Jersey failed to come to a settlement in a lawsuit that aimed to halt the program.

According to the New York Post, Murphy has launched a billboard campaign promoting a $20 million initiative to reward New York companies that let employees work in New Jersey, bypassing the $9 congestion toll.

After a federal lawsuit brought by his administration failed to stop New York’s congestion pricing plan, New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy is appealing to another power: President Trump.

Phil Murphy penned a letter to President Donald Trump regarding congestion pricing, saying it's an area in which the two of them can find common ground. In his letter, Murphy reminded Trump that he has previously said he would "terminate" congestion pricing during his first week back in office.

New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy says he's waiting for a response to his letter to President Donald Trump asking him to stop congestion pricing.
