Now in its third week, congestion pricing in NYC has continued to reduce traffic into Manhattan, according to updated data from the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA).
The program, which launched on Jan. 5, saw an overall 7.5% reduction in traffic within the Congestion Relief Zone (CRZ) south of and including 61st Street throughout the week of Jan. 5. Similar results continued into the week of Jan. 13, with fewer cars penetrating the CRZ each day.
According to MTA data, there was an average of 26,619 fewer vehicles on the road in Manhattan from Monday, Jan. 13, through Friday, Jan. 17, for a total of 133,097 fewer vehicles over the course of the week.
