Seriously. This is long overdue. The city should also charge market pricing for street parking and eliminate large swaths of street parking: https://www.city-journal.org/html/high-cost-free-parking-146..., but this is a good, if tardy, start.

London did it, and it had the effect of pushing people onto buses, taxis, and private hrie vehicles. The vast majority of those use diesel. London has terrible air quality as a result.

You need to give incentives for electric vehicles (especially if that's electric buses) and disincentives to diesel for it to really work.

The European counterparts give substantial discounts to motorcycles. Probably won't happen here. Port authority only gives $1 off (< 10% discount) now.

Why do people between say 96th and 60th not count as congestion generators? Seems like they're "gerrymandering" the neighborhoods hit by the surcharge.
