Description: The first weekday of New York City's congestion pricing policy saw lighter-than-expected traffic, but questions remain whether the $9 peak-hour toll is responsible. The MTA estimates the fee could keep 100,000 vehicles out of the city daily, reduce emergency response times, and raise $15 billion to improve subways and buses. FOX 5's Linda Schmidt has the story.
