DePaul University professor and transportation expert Joe Schwieterman said Chicago needs to take a look at what New York is doing with congestion pricing.

Most drivers entering Manhattan are required to pay a $9 base toll, which will eventually increase to $12 in 2028 and $15 in 2031.

The toll, known as congestion pricing, is meant to reduce traffic gridlock while also raising money to help fix New York's ailing public transit infrastructure.
