Congestion pricing turns one month old this week, and so far, it appears to be having an impact. Here are the numbers.

Congestion pricing began on January 5. One month in, traffic is down, public buses are faster, and transit ridership is up.

The toll helps fund the MTA, an agency that has numerous plans to use the money from congestion pricing to improve the city's public transportation system.
