NRBP Opposes Aviation Fuel Tax Increase

"NRBP opposes pending state legislation (S2892/A4392) that would increase aviation fuel taxes at Newark Liberty International Airport (EWR) and divert proceeds to non-airport projects in a way that is inconsistent with federal law. The U.S. Chamber of Commerce has taken note of the proposal in this blog post." – Chip Hallock. President & CEO, NRBP.

The New Jersey legislature is currently considering a bill that would increase the state’s jet fuel tax to pay for an extension of the PATH railway from Newark Penn Station to the Newark Liberty International Airport Rail Link Station and beyond.
