A new trove of data, which breaks out tolled vehicles from those that remain on the untolled West Side Highway, reveals just how successful the first few weeks of congestion pricing have been.
In the first workweek of the toll, from Jan. 6 to Jan. 10, there was an average of 538,955 vehicle entries into the Central Business District, an 8.17-percent decrease in traffic compared to the years leading up to congestion pricing. In the second week, from Jan. 13 to Jan. 17 there was an average of 556,381 vehicles driving into the CBD, a 4.78-percent reduction compared to pre-congestion pricing traffic.
