NYC congestion pricing boosts transit use, study finds

A new study published on arXiv utilizes time series foundation models to analyze the impact of New York City's congestion pricing program, implemented in January 2025. The research found that bus and subway ridership increased significantly compared to a no-policy scenario, while overall travel demand saw a modest decrease. The study highlights that these changes are spatially uneven, with transit gains extending beyond the Congestion Relief Zone and revealing spatial equity concerns across different neighborhoods. AI
