Transit is the lifeblood of the New York metropolitan area. Every day, millions of people rely on public transportation to get to and from Manhattan. Congestion Pricing, now federally approved, will raise billions of dollars a year to fund critical improvements to buses, trains, and subways in New York, creating a sustainable foundation for the future of the entire region.
Vehicle traffic in New York is approaching pre-pandemic levels, causing economic and environmental damage from cars and trucks stuck idling throughout the city. Congestion pricing will cut traffic and slash pollution, creating safer and more accessible streets for emergency vehicles and delivery drivers.
Congestion pricing has worked around the world. Major cities like London, Stockholm, and Singapore have all prepared their cities for the future through modern congestion pricing programs. Now, it’s our turn.
