Recent reports indicate that Manhattan's congestion pricing has led to an 18.2% reduction in total crashes and a 17.7% drop in injuries. City businesses are voicing strong support, highlighting the benefits of fewer cars and improved traffic flow. Despite the city Department of Transportation's reluctance to confirm these findings as they are still preliminary, they indicate a potential positive trend in urban safety. These improvements are noted in comparison to 2025 data, which reveals the lowest incidents since the pandemic. Ultimately, the consensus is that congestion pricing provides crucial advantages for both safety and commerce.
The total number of injuries and the number of total crashes in the 48-day period of 2025 are the lowest since the throes of the pandemic.
City businesses are telling CNN that congestion pricing has 'undeniable upsides.' So if President Trump won't listen to bus riders, perhaps he'll understand the only language he knows: it's good for business!
