Reposted by Cody CookDavid Zipper @davidzipper.bsky.social · 03/08/2026This IMO is the best ongoing study of NYC congestion pricing. An update w/data thru 6/26 is encouraging: "The toll raised cordon-area speeds by 11%, with little effect on air quality, consumer spending, or foot traffic. Speeds also rose outside the cordon." shoshanavasserman.com/papers/the_n... 46521

Reposted by Cody CookDavid Zipper @davidzipper.bsky.social · 30/01/2026As expected, drives into Manhattan grew notably faster following congestion pricing. But local journeys outside the toll zone also sped up a bit – and there are *lots* of them. To the researchers’ surprise, those driving outside Manhattan collectively saved 5x more hours than toll payers(!). 18727
