Is NYC's congestion pricing working to improve traffic in Manhattan? Here's a look at the MTA data for the first three weeks.

New York's congestion pricing has led to 1 million total fewer vehicles entering the busiest part of Manhattan and cut commuting times since the program began on Jan. 5, a transit agency said on Wednesday.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- With NYC congestion pricing in place, traffic might actually be improving, according to the MTA. This week, the agency unveiled a new batch of congestion pricing data that shows fewer cars and improved travel times on some of New York City’s highest-trafficked roads.

Drive times into Manhattan have dropped dramatically since the institution of New York’s congestion tolling program, according to data released Wednesday by the MTA — with the most significant improvements at the Holland Tunnel.

The MTA previously reported that the new fees, which launched on Jan. 5, led to 7% fewer vehicles entering the tolling zone south of 60th Street during the first several days they were in effect, compared to a similar period last year.
