New York City traffic
New York, NY –
In this fall's election, traffic wasn't a top issue for voters. But now, two organizations - a business group and a non-profit promoting biking and walking - are studying reducing congestion, in part by charging drivers who bring cars into Midtown.
The groups say failing to address the issue will take a heavy toll on New York's economy, air quality, and public health. And they're hoping to win Mayor Bloomberg's support. WNYC's Andrea Bernstein reports.
