The following is attributable to the Congestion Pricing Now coalition:

“As the first week of congestion pricing comes to a close, we’re already witnessing remarkable improvements from this first-in-the-nation program, including shorter travel times across the city and robust transit ridership. As the program fully takes effect, commuters can look forward to even greater strides in transit improvements, repairs, and other benefits in the months ahead. Along the way, the Congestion Pricing Now coalition remains committed to tracking its impact and working together to fulfill our promise of a city that works better for everyone.

The results we’re seeing are about more than just tackling gridlock. Congestion pricing is a hard-won step in securing the future of the region’s shared infrastructure. As a national leader, New York’s adoption of this bold policy reminds us we can accomplish big things. Congestion pricing is already on its way to making the streets safer for all, reducing air pollution, and supporting well-paying union jobs that will fuel the economy and protect our environment for decades to come.”
