New York City Congestion Toll Shows No Significant Improvement in Air Quality

A report from the New York City Health Department reveals that the $9 congestion toll has not significantly improved air quality in Manhattan after its first year. While traffic has decreased by 11%, officials noted that vehicles account for only a small portion of the city's pollution, which primarily comes from other sources. Critics have raised concerns about the toll's financial burden on commuters and small businesses.
