Trenton NJ, New Jersey’s gas tax will once again increase, though by less than a penny today Sunday, Oct. 1, thanks to a 2016 law meant to support transportation projects around the state.
That means the state’s total gas tax will rise to 42.3 cents, or 49.3 cents for every gallon of diesel, said an announcement from Gov. Phil Murphy’s administration this month.
Money from the gas tax goes to fund the $16 billion Transportation Trust Fund, a program used to pay for critical infrastructure projects such as roads and bridges across the state.
The Transportation Trust Fund (TTF) in political circles is often referred to as the Transportation Slush Fund, due to the fact that so much of the money is used for pet projects and other purposes .
You can thank that fat POS Christie for this
