Is NYC's congestion pricing working to improve traffic in Manhattan? Here's a look at the MTA data for the first three weeks.

Drive times into Manhattan have dropped dramatically since the institution of New York’s congestion tolling program, according to data released Wednesday by the MTA — with the most significant improvements at the Holland Tunnel.

The MTA released new numbers on Friday showing that despite some perceptions, the controversial tolling program has made a big impact on the number of vehicles in Manhattan.

New York's congestion pricing has led to 1 million total fewer vehicles entering the busiest part of Manhattan and cut commuting times since the program began on Jan. 5, a transit agency said on Wednesday.

Opponents haven't identified a quick way to end congestion pricing. Supporters and transportation experts are confident the new Manhattan tolls are here to stay.

The MTA previously reported that the new fees, which launched on Jan. 5, led to 7% fewer vehicles entering the tolling zone south of 60th Street during the first several days they were in effect, compared to a similar period last year.
