Congestion pricing has been implemented in New York City for six months, tolling drivers for entering Manhattan's congestion zone. The program is anticipated to generate $500 million in revenue, enabling $15 billion in improvements for transit systems. Traffic has reduced by 11%, equating to 67,000 fewer vehicles daily. Governor Kathy Hochul asserts the program's success, linking it to enhanced regional business and increased transit ridership despite challenges from the Trump administration. The MTA is focused on accessibility upgrades and modernized transit infrastructure as positive outcomes of the program.
"Congestion pricing has been a huge success. Six months in, it's clear: congestion pricing has been a huge success, making life in New York better."
"Officials said the number of vehicles entering the congestion relief zone is down by 11% since the program launched, meaning 67,000 fewer vehicles entering the zone per day."
