the 'disaster':

In the first week of the new policy, Manhattan traffic dropped by 7.5 percent. Commute times are down dramatically on many major and notoriously clogged arteries, including, every single day, almost all day, the Lincoln Tunnel, the Holland Tunnel, the Williamsburg Bridge, and the Queensboro Bridge—meaning not just lowered congestion and pollution but time savings for those motorists who do need to drive. Subway, bus, and commuter rail ridership are already way up.

Disaster = amount of money lost by NJ in tolls. I bet volume on the turnpike dropped.

He wants the President of the US to intervene in a traffic dispute ?

You'd think that would be enough of a res flag that no one voted for Murphy ever again.
