Challenges Arise as New York City’s Congestion Pricing Launches

Credited from: NYTIMES

  • New York City’s congestion pricing system, now in its third day, is facing difficulties in meeting expectations for congestion reduction.
  • While travel times over bridges and tunnels have improved, the speed within the congestion relief zone remains sluggish.
  • Real-time data shows that travel speed inside the zone is similar to pre-pricing levels, indicating limited effectiveness so far.
  • The relatively low impact on congestion is attributed to for-hire vehicles and delivery trucks which dominate traffic in the area.
  • Raising fees for commercial vehicles and offering incentives for off-peak deliveries may improve the system’s efficacy.
