This project aims to analyze the impact of New York City’s impending congestion pricing policy on commuters driving from Queens to Manhattan. Congestion pricing involves a new fee for entering Manhattan south of 60th Street, designed to decrease traffic congestion, reduce accidents, and lower harmful environmental emissions. This research provides a spatial analysis of car dependency in Queens to help refine the policy’s language concerning exemptions from the congestion pricing fees. According to the current proposal, middle-income drivers who live within the congestion zone may receive partial toll reimbursements. The findings of this spatial analysis suggest that the exemption policy could be extended to include Queens, where in certain areas, middle-income residents depend on cars for their commute while living far from accessible train stations.
