New York’s congestion pricing plan, which was just given the green light by the federal government, will at once protect public health, tackle climate pollution, and make much-needed investments in our public transit. Yet Governor Murphy, who claims to be an environmental champion, has gone the desperate route of litigation to stop this critical climate policy that has proven effective in every major city where it has been implemented. And it is particularly rich that the lawsuit comes on the heels of the New Jersey Transit voting to stick their head in the sand on a looming financial crisis that threatens the viability of the public transit system.
