New York City has launched the first congestion charge scheme in the U.S., targeting traffic south of Central Park. Drivers entering the zone during peak hours face fees up to $9 (£7) per day, with higher rates for larger vehicles like trucks and buses. Off-peak charges start at $2.25. The zone covers landmarks such as the Empire State Building, Times Square, and Wall Street. The initiative aims to ease traffic congestion and fund billions for public transportation improvements. The plan has sparked controversy, with critics like former President Donald Trump calling it a "cash grab." Local Republicans and suburban representatives also oppose the scheme, but it has already taken effect. Proponents argue it’s essential: Manhattan’s downtown was recently named the world’s most congested urban zone, with peak morning speeds averaging just 11 mph (17 km/h). Will this reduce traffic or simply generate revenue? Only time will tell. Still, it’s a bold step toward addressing air quality and gridlock in a city known for both. Whether or not it solves the problem entirely, it’s a start—and one that reflects growing global interest in sustainable urban solutions.
