About this listen
This episode uncovers a shocker many didn’t expect: congestion pricing is working in New York. One year after launch, Lower Manhattan saw millions fewer car trips, faster tunnels and bridges, cleaner air, and quicker buses—without the feared spillover traffic into surrounding neighborhoods. We break down the toll structure, the equity of allocating investment revenue to New York City's public transportation system, and how escalating fees can keep traffic from creeping back. If you care about urban mobility, transit funding, and livable streets, these numbers matter.
