The latest proposal to help drivers cope with high gas prices would give drivers a tax rebate and three month of free NJ Transit rides.
this week, a state lawmaker has proposed rebates for drivers and free transit rides to ease the fiscal pain and provide an option to driving.
Mukherji proposed the bill on May 2, as a week later, gas prices hit new highs at $4.40 nationally and $4.47 in New Jersey for a gallon of regular on Wednesday, according toHis proposal joins a trio of ideas proposed by state legislators to give drivers relief from spiraling gas prices that include a Republican tax credit plan, temporarily cutting the state gas tax rate and allowing drivers to pump their own gas.
“There are no good options here. It could be a rebate, but it’s a problem that will stick around,” De Haan said. “Politicians are helpless to interject themselves in something thats a global supply and demand problem.” Public transit riders also would get a break from paying NJ Transit fares for the months of June, July and August of this year, if the bill passes.
