Congestion pricing was introduced on Sunday morning in the center of New York City — despite a late attempt by New Jersey to stop it in court.

Could it cost drivers more to bring their cars into downtown Chicago? The idea is being weighed after New York rolled out a program at the start of the year.

NEW YORK (AP) — A new toll on drivers entering the core of Manhattan brought modest but measurable traffic reductions to New York City’s heavily-gridlocked streets in its first week of operation, according to preliminary data released Monday by the state’s transit authority.

The first week of congestion pricing brought a measurable dip in traffic on bridges and tunnels leading into Manhattan and an increase in transit ridership, but no significant improvement in speeds inside the zone subject to the new toll, according to officials and traffic researchers.

Preliminary traffic data is giving promising if occasionally mixed signals for the early days of congestion pricing’s impact on Manhattan’s busiest streets, with travel times down at Hudson River crossings but speeds within the zone slightly slower at key times of day year over year.
