NYC Congestion Pricing
Congestion Pricing

In March 2007, everyone was talking about Mayor Bloomberg's proposed Congestion Pricing plan, which would have been an $8 charge for cars entering the central business district of Manhattan below 86th Street, from 6am to 6pm.
What happened? The plan died in the State Legislature. NYC lost $354 million in federal funding to improve transportation in the five boroughs and non-Manhattan commuters rejoiced. At the time of printing, there is still talk of some form of Congestion Pricing and testing Demand Pricing for on-street meters.
You can find out updates on proposed Congestion Pricing programs at www.nyc.gov.
Transportation Alternatives is a non-profit organization that regularly participates in research to reduce street congestion from traffic and improve NYC air quality.
