How congestion
pricing in Manhattan
will boost the Bronx
BY SACHA DASS
It’s working in London and Stockholm,
but can congestion pricing in
Manhattan make an impact on residents
and business owners in the
Bronx?
By charging a fee to drivers entering
Manhattan below 60th Street
at peak times, congestion pricing --
which state legislators are debating
until April 1, when the budget will be
fi nalized -- expects to generate as much
as $1 billion a year, which will help the
Bronx in several ways.
Money will be earmarked for improvements
that will increase service
on the 2, 4, 5, 6, B and D, including the
purchase of 3,000 new subway cars
for the 1, B and D lines. It’ll also fund
platform repair at the Longwood Avenue
station 6; escalator replacements
at the Pelham Bay Park 6; new stairs
at Freeman Street, Simpson Street
and Prospect Avenue 2/5 stations, and
the Metro-North service directly into
Penn Station with new stations in
Hunts Point, Parkchester, Morris Park
and Co-op City.
If congestion pricing is not passed?
The MTA estimates that transit fares
will need to rise by 27% to pay for essential
projects.
In London, congestion pricing has
reduced traffi c by 15%, and reduced
greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. In
Stockholm, the number of children going
to the hospital because of asthma
has dropped by 50%.
“Congestion pricing,” says Andy
Darrell, regional New York director
for Environmental Defense Fund, “is
a realistic step we can take to reduce
traffi c, cut air pollution, and increase
funding for public transportation.”
