The congestion pricing plan for New York City remains controversial, but for people who actually need to commute into the city, early signs show it may be working out.

Is NYC's congestion pricing working to improve traffic in Manhattan? Here's a look at the MTA data for the first three weeks.

Drive times into Manhattan have dropped dramatically since the institution of New York’s congestion tolling program, according to data released Wednesday by the MTA — with the most significant improvements at the Holland Tunnel.

The MTA previously reported that the new fees, which launched on Jan. 5, led to 7% fewer vehicles entering the tolling zone south of 60th Street during the first several days they were in effect, compared to a similar period last year.
