Beyond Congestion Pricing
September 12th, 2007

Last week’s taxi strike offered a hint of one way to cut New York’s traffic jams: reduce the number of taxi cabs. Writing in today’s News, Sam Schwartz, the former city transportation commissioner known popularly as Gridlock Sam, also recommends creating a medallion for black taxis — car services – and instituting tolls and fees to keep truck drivers who use Manhattan as the cheapest route from point A to point B off city streets. And Schwartz wants to crack down on what he calls privileged parkers: “150,000 government workers [who] either park free in reserved spaces or just plain park illegally.”

Congestion pricing is a good idea, too, Schwartz writes, “But we don’t need to wage an all-or-nothing battle on congestion pricing to combat traffic.”
