In shocking news (that isn’t all that shocking) New York City’s controversial congestion-pricing plan has made good on all its promises.
Traffic in the so-called “Congestion Relief Zone” below 60th Street in Manhattan has been greatly reduced. Backups at bridges and tunnels are far less common. And the city is raking in millions from the $9 per vehicle toll.
In the face of making money and saving lives, Republicans and some Democrats are still fighting over whether the plan should continue.
