How Chris Christie's Traffic Problem Spans Beyond The George Washington

Commuters to New York City spend nearly 60 hours in traffic a year,
wasting far more time on the road than the average American. Much of that
traffic bottlenecks across the George Washington Bridge, the busiest road
bridge in the world. Congestion is only expected to get worse as people
continue to flock to the New York suburbs.
.
But as New Jersey's nightmarish traffic devolved over the years, Christie
has dealt severe and repeated blows to the only viable solution to ease
the area's gridlock: public transportation.
.
To alleviate the constant traffic jams into New York, New Jersey spent 14
years planning and finally broke ground on a new commuter rail tunnel in
2009. The Access to the Region's Core (ARC) Tunnel was expected to double
the number of trains that could enter Manhattan, shave off 15-30 minutes
from commutes, and convert thousands of New Jersey drivers into train
passengers. In October 2010, Christie abruptly canceled the project,
claiming unforeseen costs. A Government Accountability Office (GAO) report
later concluded that Christie had greatly exaggerated these costs.
.
The money set aside for the thwarted tunnel was then diverted into the
state's depleted Transportation Trust Fund, which pays for basic
maintenance for highways, roads, bridges, mass transit, and other
infrastructure. The trust fund usually draws from gas taxes paid by
drivers, but Christie has refused to raise the tax despite the state's
transportation woes. New Jersey Democrats accused the governor of tanking
the tunnel in order to avoid raising the gas tax.
