New York City's congestion pricing plan is a go.

The Federal Highway Administration gave the final approval late last week, clearing the way for the controversial plan to take effect January 5th, charging most drivers an extra nine bucks if they enter Manhattan south of 60th Street, with increases phased in over the next several years until the toll hits $15 in 2031.

The money will help fund the city's cash strapped public transit system and cut down on the gridlock that consumes lower in midtown Manhattan.

But opponents, including Governor Phil Murphy and Congressman Josh Gottheimer are still pushing back, arguing the toll unfairly burdens Jersey commuters.

Calling it a tax grab that's been fast tracked to circumvent more public scrutiny.

The Murphy administration has been trying to block the plan in court, while Gottheimer is now calling for a federal review of the pricing structure.

Both, though, are running out of time.
