NEW YORK, NY October 31, 2007 —The mayor's proposal to charge drivers to enter much of Manhattan could be facing new political hurdles. The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey says that, after New Jersey's legislative elections on Tuesday, it plans to ask for a toll increase, from $6 to as much as $8, for its Hudson River crossings. $8 is what Mayor Bloomberg wants to charge cars to enter Manhattan and his current plan calls for subtracting bridge and tunnel tolls from that amount. WNYC All Things Considered host Amy Eddings talks about the current status of the congestion pricing plan with WNYC's Bob Hennelly, and Arun Venugopal.
