Stop Taxation of Overburdened People from New Jersey by Correcting Obnoxious New Gimmick and Ensuring the Stability of Transportation Infrastructure from Obstinate Neighbors Act or the STOP NJ CONGESTION Act
This bill requires the Department of Transportation (DOT) to withhold 50% of National Highway Performance Program funds and Surface Transportation Block Grant program funds from each state that implements a congestion pricing system similar to that described in the environmental assessment titled Final Environmental Assessment and Draft Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) for Central Business District (CBD) Tolling Program, Manhattan, New York.
The bill also prohibits the implementation of projects under a DOT value pricing pilot program unless the project sponsor receives the consent of each affected state. Value pricing (also called congestion pricing) involves charging drivers on congested roadways during peak periods.
