Wondering what the MTA's working on?

No need — they just released a NEW dashboard to see all of NYC's transit projects underway as part of the MTA's Capital Plan.

Spoiler: a lot of them are funded by congestion pricing 🙂

BREAKING: traffic is getting worse around the country — but not in NYC.

Why? Because the congestion relief program is working.

Traffic congestion grew this year in U.S. cities, but NYC saw no increase
Baltimore and Philadelphia saw the largest increases in traffic delays. Congestion pricing may have helped keep New York City traffic in check.

19.5 million fewer vehicles have entered NYC since congestion relief was implemented … But who’s counting?

Weekends are meant for seeing friends, not brake lights.

Congestion relief never takes the day off so you can enjoy your days off more.

It’s simple: less traffic = faster buses.

The Bronx has long borne the brunt of pollution and heavy truck traffic. Now it’s time for the borough to reap the rewards of congestion relief.

Learn why and how from THE POINT CDC's Dariella Rodriguez and NYC-EJA's Kevin Garcia 👇

We know it works because last year we wished for less traffic and faster buses.

Or don’t – with less honking and quieter streets, you don’t really have to.

$365,000,000.

That’s how much money congestion relief has helped generate already for big new investments in everything from modern train cars and buses to better stations and roads.

Grateful to all our panelists for an insightful discussion!

Big policies require teamwork.

As Kathryn Wylde put it at our Climate Week panel this fall, organized labor and business leaders worked hand in hand to make congestion relief a reality.

Traffic? Spooky 🫣

This brand new R211 railcar funded in part by congestion relief and wearing a scary Halloween mask? Completely terrifying.
