Congestion pricing improved air quality in NYC and suburbs
In the first six months of the program, air pollution – in the form of
particulate matter 2.5 micrometers and smaller – dropped by 22% in the Congestion Relief
Zone (CRZ), which encompasses all local streets and avenues at or below 60th Street in
Manhattan. The team also reported declines across the city’s five boroughs and surrounding
suburbs.
