Since the launch of congestion pricing in NYC on January 5, 2025, businesses, particularly Broadway, are witnessing significant growth. With a base toll of $9 charged for entering the Congestion Relief Zone, statistics show Broadway ticket sales surged, with a 19% increase in audience attendance compared to early 2024. Ticket sales reported by the Broadway League reflect this trend, indicating thousands more in week-over-week revenue compared to the previous year. However, New Yorkers express mixed reactions regarding traffic improvements as the tolling program faces scrutiny amid ongoing legal discussions.
"Broadway is one of many industries experiencing an uptick in business since congestion pricing launched on Jan. 5, charging drivers a base toll of $9 into the Congestion Relief Zone."
"The Broadway League reported an impressive $32,176,529 in ticket sales the week ending Jan. 12 this year, with congestion pricing already in effect for eight days at the time."
