Congestion pricing begins in NYC in a high stakes test for the model's U.S. viability
Briefly

Congestion pricing has officially launched in Manhattan, aiming to combat severe traffic issues that have plagued New York City. Traffic data shows NYC was the world's worst in 2023, with drivers losing 101 hours to congestion during peak times.
Advocates believe this initiative will reduce gridlock, enhance air quality, and generate approximately $15 billion for essential upgrades to the transit system, potentially lowering traffic fatalities, which exceeded 250 in 2024.
