The latest data continues to show there's less traffic in the Manhattan congestion relief zone than prior to the congestion toll.
Data shows there was a 14 percent reduction in the number of vehicles in the congestion zone in August compared to last August which was prior to congestion pricing. That's nearly 2.7 million fewer vehicles. Stats show August was level with June for the largest vehicle reduction seen so far in 2025. Meanwhile, state officials note that every vehicle crossing entering the congestion relief zone has seen morning peak travel times reduced this year compared to last year.
