Episode Synopsis

In this episode, experts explore how New York City created a successful congestion pricing plan that has so far reduced traffic and increased transit ridership while retaining a bustling downtown. Adie Tomer, senior fellow at Brookings Metro, and Polly Trottenberg, former U.S. Department of Transportation deputy secretary and former commissioner of New York City’s transportation department, explain how other cities can use New York as a blueprint to implement their own congestion pricing policies.
