The Congestion Pricing Tracker uses real-time traffic data to reveal the effects of congestion pricing in NYC, observing significant changes in driving behavior since its implementation.
Benjamin Moshes, one of the brothers behind the project, noted that the project's origin stems from a professor's suggestion to explore the upcoming congestion surcharge and its economic implications.
The data shows that the new toll scheme, which charges $9 during peak hours, is effectively funneling dollars into transit improvements while altering driver behavior.
This tool highlights that with higher costs associated with driving in Manhattan, there is a visible decrease in congestion as drivers reconsider their travel plans.
