Congestion pricing has resulted in a marked drop in air pollution – not just in Lower Manhattan, but throughout the metro region.

In the Netherlands, over 40% of rail passengers arrive by bike. Since 2012 the country has invested €400m+ to add 200,000 new bike parking spaces at stations. The result? More rail use, fewer car trips, lower congestion and emissions, better public health - and far more efficient use of urban space.
