| Results from the first week of New York's congestion pricing are in. And "so far, so good," says former New York City deputy traffic commissioner Bruce Schaller. The number of cars entering the zone below 60th Street is down about 8% from baseline traffic levels, according to preliminary data released on Monday by the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. Bloomberg News, whose US headquarters on 59th Street in Manhattan overlook the congestion pricing zone perimeter, aimed a high-definition camera at Lexington Avenue and collected more than 100 hours of daytime traffic imagery before and after congestion pricing went into effect. The analysis of 75,000 vehicles found that there are fewer private cars and more cabs in Manhattan's traffic mix, report Aaron Gordon, Priyanjana Bengani, Jeff Kao, Marie Patino and Jason Kao.
