As spring begins, the Trump administration's deadline for ending congestion pricing has passed, but the MTA's tolling cameras remain active. U.S. DOT Secretary Sean Duffy granted New York Governor Hochul an additional 30 days to evaluate the benefits of congestion pricing. Data shows a 31% reduction in congestion levels and a 10% increase in travel speeds within the toll zone. Public events, like the rally and 'Foot Traffic Jam,' highlight community support for the successful initiative, which enhances traffic flow for both public and private transport.
The latest data show a 31% decrease in congestion levels and a 10% increase in travel speeds since toll implementation, proving congestion pricing's effectiveness.
With Secretary Duffy's 30-day reprieve, there's hope he'll recognize the success of congestion pricing and its positive impact on traffic and public transportation.
Gov. Hochul is set to report on the 'Massive Success of Congestion Pricing,' highlighting the improved traffic conditions and faster MTA and school bus speeds.
Transportation Alternatives is mobilizing public interest with a 'Foot Traffic Jam' event, celebrating the success of congestion pricing and engaging community in livable city advocacy.
