Since the implementation of congestion pricing in Manhattan, statistics show a significant decrease in honking complaints. Data from the 311 service indicates a quieter city environment. From January 5 to March 4, the Department of Environmental Protection’s noise cameras south of 60th Street did not issue any summonses for horn honking. This is a stark contrast to the same period last year when these cameras issued 27 summonses for excessive horn blowing. These numbers highlight the effectiveness of congestion pricing in reducing noise pollution in the city.

Jan 6 Kathy Hochul claimed she put money back in people’s pockets because NY was originally going to charge $15 for congestion pricing and is now only charging $9.
uummmm that’s now how this works… how about no extra driving tax to begin with!

23h Living inside the zone, I’ve felt this myself! That there’s way less honking in Manhattan than before.
And data bear it out!
Literally every bit of data about congestion pricing shows it is working great.

Feb 20 Exposing the real motive behind congestion pricing—it’s not about reducing traffic, it’s about revenue.
@SecDuffy
Hochul set an arbitrary $9 fee with no transparency.
@GovKathyHochul
The real question—was this ever about congestion, or just another cash grab disguised as policy?
