"We spent the rest of the year covering congestion pricing from all angles - highlighting, for example, the Trump administration's fruitless lawsuits; reporting that the new toll had not negatively affected Broadway ticket sales nor the economy in general nor the Bronx specifically; and how traffic was down in the city and in New Jersey. All that coverage culminated in our seventh-most-read story of the year: How congestion pricing had a prominent booster in the form of Knicks legend Walt "Clyde" Frazier!"
A December donation drive requests tax-deductible contributions and offers special gifts for major donors to fund journalism aimed at ending car dependency. A Year-in-Review roundup highlights most-read coverage across the year. Congestion pricing began Jan. 5, 2025, prompted legal challenges from the Trump administration, and coincided with lower traffic in New York City and New Jersey. Data and reports indicated no negative impacts on Broadway ticket sales, the broader economy, or the Bronx. Prominent public boosters, including Knicks legend Walt "Clyde" Frazier, drew attention. NYPD policy changes and contested claims regarding cyclists generated scrutiny and criticism.
