One year ago, New York City launched congestion pricing: one of the most ambitious and controversial transportation policies in its history.

Supporters said it would reduce traffic, speed up buses, improve air quality, and fund critical transit upgrades. Critics warned of economic fallout, traffic spillover, and unfair impacts. Now, a year in, we have data.

In this episode, we’re joined by John McCarthy, Chief of Policy and External Relations at the MTA, to walk through what congestion pricing has changed, what’s still being evaluated, and what the future of the program could look like for New York City.

Every day, more than two million packages move through New York City. And behind each delivery is a complex system of trucks, warehouses, and last-minute logistics most of us never see. As we head into the holiday season, that system is under even more strain.

In this episode, we’re joined by Zach McHugh of Sitex Group, a leader in industrial and logistics real estate that keeps New York’s supply chain moving. We explore how the city is tackling this issue and why some of the proposed solutions may exacerbate the very congestion and safety issues they are meant to solve.
