MTA requests to join federal government's fight against New Jersey over congestion pricing

Drivers entering Manhattan below 60th Street would be charged as much as $23.
Murphy says the United States Department of Transportation shouldn't have approved the MTA's environmental assessment, which found a congestion plan would mean cleaner air and less traffic.
The New Jersey governor claims the plan will only move congestion and pollution into his state.
