New York City became the first municipality in the U.S. to implement congestion pricing on January 5, 2025 .
The plan that was finally implemented was modest compared to earlier proposals: passenger vehicles entering a “Congestion Relief Zone” (or “ CRZ ”) pay a toll of up to $9 at peak times, once per day.
Reducing vehicular traffic can free up valuable space and resources to develop more sustainable, community-centered urban designs.
Reduced congestion can also increase economic productivity by shortening commute times.
In the initial 12 days of congestion pricing, both crashes and injuries dropped by more than 50% in the CRZ .
London traffic accidents fell by an astonishing 40% since the introduction of the city’s congestion toll in 2003 .
At the state level, cutting emissions from vehicles can help New York achieve its goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2030 .
