Congestion Pricing Didn't Shift Parking | New York City News
Description
A new city study reveals congestion pricing hasn’t dramatically shifted parking habits — drivers aren’t fleeing the zone to park and take transit, and free street spots remain scarce before and after the toll went into effect. While there’s a slight dip in parking availability everywhere — even at night — the biggest change? A small reduction in double-parking inside the zone. People blame commercial lots and bike lanes more than the toll, and the city’s data confirms the hoped-for behavioral shift didn’t happen. Commissioner Mike Flynn admits concerns, but the numbers show parking’s basically the same — except for a tiny uptick in demand just north of the zone. The city’s now using this insight to refine future parking policies.
