Abstract
Despite a rocky start, New York City’s Central Business District Tolling Program, more commonly known as the city’s congestion pricing plan, has seen demonstrable success in its implementation. The plan aims to ease traffic in some of Manhattan’s busiest streets by charging motorists nine dollars for entry to the Congestion Relief Zone during peak hours, with the revenue supporting the struggling Metropolitan Transportation Authority (“MTA”) and funding the public transportation that keeps the city running.
