New York City Congestion Pricing

New York City Congestion Pricing is a system that charges drivers a fee to enter certain busy areas, like Manhattan’s core, during peak hours. The goal is to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality, and fund public transportation. When drivers pass through designated zones at relevant times, their vehicles are automatically billed. This encourages people to use alternative transportation options such as transit, biking, or walking, especially during busy periods. The revenue generated helps maintain and improve transit services, ultimately making city travel smoother and more sustainable for residents and visitors.
