A new toll introduced for driving in Manhattan is projected to ease traffic congestion and potentially add up to $1.3 billion annually to New York City's economy. The congestion pricing program, launched on January 5, charges motorists during peak hours and intends to modernize public transit while significantly reducing daily travel times for commuters. Benefits are expected to be most prominent in New Jersey, with Queens and Long Island also seeing substantial gains. Despite criticism, the program has already led to a 10% decrease in traffic in the tolled area, although its future may be challenged by the current administration.
