New York City is set to implement a congestion pricing policy, charging vehicles $15 and up to drive in Manhattan below 60th Street, in an effort to reduce traffic and pollution. This policy, a first in the nation, could serve as a model for other cities like Seattle, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C. Despite concerns, including fears that the Upper West Side could become a parking lot for those avoiding the charge and criticisms that the policy might fail due to its incentive structure, MTA CEO remains confident that a lawsuit from New Jersey will not affect the plan. Suggestions have been made to use some of the tolling revenue to improve mass transit from New Jersey into the Central Business District.
