New York City congestion pricing, the first-in-the-nation tolling program​, got underway Sunday with no major issues, the MTA said.

New York City kicked off the first congestion pricing program in the US, part of an effort to reduce the number of vehicles in the world’s most traffic-clogged urban area while raising money for transit infrastructure.

New York City has launched its congestion pricing scheme meant to reduce traffic jams and raise money to help rehabilitate public transport facilities.
