Oral arguments began Wednesday in New Jersey 's lawsuit to try and stop congestion pricing in New York City . Lawyers for New Jersey say the Federal Highway Administration did not do a thorough impact study on the full environmental effects of congestion pricing when it gave the MTA the green light. Randy Mastro, attorney for New Jersey says 'Federal law requires that there be mitigation measures specified before a federal agency approves a project of this magnitude.
' The MTA disputes that it submitted a complete environmental assessment for its plan to charge drivers $15 to enter Manhattan south of 60th Street and accuses New Jersey of trying to delay the rollout of congestion pricing. 'We believe that we win on the arguments, that when a judge looks at the law and the facts, and does the kind of hard research this judge has done, I'm convinced that we will win,' said MTA attorney Roberta Kaplan
