New York City's new congestion pricing scheme went into effect on January 5th .
Two college-age brothers created a web tool called the Congestion Pricing Tracker .
The tool uses real-time traffic data from Google Maps to calculate traffic times for chosen routes and days .
The new fee appears to be doing what it set out to do, which is to change the behavior of drivers.
The brothers say they hope to keep the tracker live, though there are costs associated with web hosting and collecting the data.
They plan to make enhancements, improve their data collection methods, and design a better map.
The brothers were surprised by how quickly the tracker took off, earning citations in major media.
