On Sunday, January 5, New York City took a monumental step toward a cleaner, greener, and more efficient future with the official start of congestion pricing. For the first time, drivers entering the heart of Manhattan—south of 60th Street—will pay a toll, with most vehicles charged $9 during peak hours. This historic change has been years in the making and marks a turning point in the city’s efforts to tackle gridlock, air pollution, and underfunded public transit.

The expansion of this successful program will divert some of the estimated 4 million tons of excess food produced in New York State annually, a number that accounts for approximately 17% of the state’s municipal solid waste stream. Instead of going to landfills, where it decomposes and releases methane, a potent greenhouse gas, it will be donated to New Yorkers who lack access to sufficient food.
