Congestion pricing has shown continued success in reducing traffic, speeding up the flow of traffic, and cutting down delays, not just in the congestion relief zone but throughout the New York metropolitan region, officials said. August saw nearly 2.7 million fewer vehicles than baseline enter the congestion relief zone, a 14% reduction. Crashes in the congestion relief zone are down 14%. Earlier this summer, the New York City Department of Transportation released data showing that pedestrian fatalities on New York City streets are at historic lows, matching levels last seen in 2018. At the same time, economic indicators demonstrate that congestion pricing has coincided with an increase in business activity in Manhattan’s central business district.
