New York City Is The First Us City To Implement Congestion Pricing

Driving into Manhattan entered a new era on January 5, when New York City implemented its much anticipated and much-discussed congestion pricing.

Congestion pricing has the potential to alleviate traffic and enhance air quality while also bringing in much-needed income for many communities.

The resistance of President-elect Donald Trump and legal challenges, however, may decide if this is a fad or a new trend in the US.

As a vocal critic, the incoming president, who is originally from New York and whose Trump Tower is located in the Manhattan congestion zone, has referred to it as a disaster for NYC.

The first week Im back in the office, Ill terminate congestion pricing! Trump stated in a post on social media in May.
