NYC Congestion Pricing: Success or Selective Benefit?
Congestion pricing in Manhattan has successfully reduced daily vehicle entries by an average of 82,000, a 13% decrease. This reduction, increasing monthly, is attributed to the $9 toll implemented to fund $15 billion in transit improvements. Despite this success, the program faces threats from the federal government, which seeks its termination by April 20 and threatens to withhold crucial federal funding. The MTA is contesting this order in court, with a decision expected no sooner than October.
