The North Jersey Congressman ticked off a list of advantages: $20,000 a year saved in commuting costs, more quality time with family, better pizza and boosting town economies by spending money at local businesses instead of in high-priced Manhattan shops. “We’re encouraging more flexibility from New York businesses to allow moms and dads to work from home in New Jersey, we’ll set up regional hubs, we’re going to give you legislation to make it more attractive to let people work from here,” he said.
“Why go on these roads every morning, pay exorbitant tolls, $16 a day, $4,000 a year, money on parking and gas costs another $10,000,” Gootheimer said. “let’s face it, commuting sucks.” “If the long commute, tolls and gas are not enough to convince you, there is congestion pricing and the moochers in New York won’t back off. We asked for years, Gottheimer said. “It could be $23 a day in congestion pricing , with tolls $39 every single day.”about an environmental assessment of congestion pricing.
