NEW YORK CITY
TO IMPLEMENT
CONGESTION
PRICING
LEGENDARY 'GRIDLOCK SAM' AND
T
he route to bringing congestion pricing to New York
City was long and circuitous, and even in the final hours
before the Legislature voted, its fate remained uncertain.
"We were holding our breath," says Sam Schwartz, the
legendary transportation author and columnist known as
"Gridlock Sam" who also authored many of the key components in the congestion pricing plan. "It was up and down.
First, we were going to get it, and then we were not. When
we finally did, there was elation but also some disbelief. Did
it finally happen?"
On April 1, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed into
law the congestion pricing system for New York City. Beginning in 2021, drivers entering the city's central business district (CBD) south of 60th
Street will pay a daily fee.
The details of the plan including fee levels will be worked out over the next 18
months, but the law mandates that the plan raise at least $1 billion annually, which
will be leveraged to bring in as much as $15 billion in financing to fix the city's ailing
transit system.
