The MTA's congestion pricing program has successfully reduced vehicle entries into Manhattan, with approximately 82,000 fewer vehicles entering below 60th Street daily in March, reflecting a 13% drop compared to expected figures. The gradual impact of the tolls has been noted, resulting in a total reduction of about 2.5 million vehicles for March alone. Despite some resistance from political figures, the data supports the effectiveness of tolling for easing congestion and funding mass transit improvements.
"The data shows that the program is having its intended effect, reducing congestion by the amount projected, enabling New Yorkers to get where they need to go more quickly."
