New York City's congestion pricing plan launched on a calm night, anticipating higher traffic on Monday morning from returning commuters, with potential snow complicating conditions.
As the nation's first congestion pricing program, officials believe it could reduce vehicle entries into Manhattan's congestion zone by at least 13%, aiming to decrease pollution.
Initial results showed usual traffic flow patterns with no immediate impact from the tolls, but officials caution it's too soon to draw definitive conclusions about the program's effectiveness.
The program covers an area from 60th Street to the southern tip of Manhattan, targeting traffic reduction and environmental benefits in a heavily congested urban area.
