Congestion Pricing Tracker

If you live in NYC or commute there on the regular, you’ve probably been discussing congestion pricing with your friends, coworkers, the bodega guy, your uber driver, etc.

Joshua Moshes and Benjamin Moshes built a really neat congestion pricing tracker that lets you see the effects the new policy is having on popular routes.

The Congestion Pricing Tracker was created to measure the impact of congestion pricing on vehicle travel times in New York City. To do this, we collected Google Maps traffic data for 19 routes, finding the shortest time to drive from Point A to Point B for every route. We collected data points every 15 minutes for every route, resulting in 1824 data points a day.

Play around with the tool and learn more about it here.
