Between June 16th and July 15th, 149 people were injured by cars in the planned New York congestion zone and 4 people were killed.
At the beginning of June New York Governor Kathy Hochul canceled New York City’s planned congestion zone. Under the planned congestion zone vehicles traveling into or within the central business district of Manhattan would have been charged a fee.
In response to Huchul's cancellation of the congestion zone scheme Transpo Maps has begun mapping all the crashes in the planned congestion zone area. The map plots the locations of vehicle crashes over the last 30 days using data from NYC’s open data portal. Apparently the map is updated as new data is made available on the data portal.
The NYC Congestion Zone Live Crash Tracker shows the locations of crashes where people were injured using orange markers. Pink markers are used to show crashes where there was a fatality. If you click on a census tract on the map you can view data on the number of crashes in the block during 2023, and data on the number of cyclists, pedestrians and car drivers injured and killed in car crashes last year. You can also view data on the number of 'vulnerable residents' and car-free households in the selected census tract.
