And then there is congestion pricing in New York.
Almost immediately after the tolls went into effect Jan. 5 — charging most vehicles $9 to enter Manhattan from 60th Street south to the Battery — they began to alter traffic patterns, commuter behavior, transit service, even the sound of gridlock and the on-time arrival of school buses.
What’s changed since the toll began?
Cars on the street - Fewer
Traffic speeds - Faster
Peak commute times - Faster still
Local buses - Faster, less delayed
Traffic outside the zone - Not worse
Transit ridership - Up, up, up
Citi Bike trips - Up in and out of the zone
Car crash injuries - Down
Traffic noise complaints - Down
Visitors to the zone - Up
Public opinion - Not great, but improving
