A new study
of New York City's congestion pricing program found an exciting, life-saving result: EMS travel times dropped by more than a minute!
This adds to the litany of benefits
our neighbors up the Northeast Corridor have seen since adopting congestion pricing, such as cleaner air, safer streets, higher transit ridership, and quicker trips for drivers.
We're jealous. Maybe it's time we do something similar here in Philadelphia?
