Program kicked off after years of roadblocks, but some worry government won’t come through on transit promises

New York City concluded its first week with its congestion pricing program, which aims to reduce traffic in Manhattan and increase funding for the city’s public transit, after years of roadblocks and concerns about a public backlash.

Some New York City residents said they worry the government won’t come through on their transit promises and instead will just make driving more expensive for workers who can’t afford the additional costs.
