The first work week of congestion pricing is wrapping up in New York City. It has been six days since the controversial program got started, which charges most vehicles $9 to drive below 60th Street in Manhattan during peak hours.

The first week of congestion pricing in New York City is wrapping up. CBS News New York's Ali Bauman takes a look at the early data on how effective the toll may be in easing traffic.

New York’s congestion pricing started, charging a base toll of $9— motorcyclists get a break —for any non-taxi passenger cars entering Manhattan south of 60th Street. Even before then, though, the official Tolls by Mail New York website posted a warning that it’s aware of a text message scam that attempts to collect personal information by threatening late fees on unpaid congestion tolls.

Driving into lower Manhattan is now more expensive, but the toll promises cleaner air, safer streets, and improved subways.

The roads of NYC are quickly becoming pathways of the haves and have nots due to Congestion Pricing. Is it Equitable? No. Profitable? Yes, to the tune of $3,000,000 a day

With congestion pricing now in effect in NYC, officials are cracking down on obscured license plates, or "ghost plates," to avoid the toll.

The MTA says it will not charge any fines or fees besides the toll price for 60 days. Watch out for phishing scams.

The crackdown could include a $50 fine for parked cars with obstructed plates, in addition to penalties for those caught driving through toll areas undetected.

Anticipating a rise in so-called "ghost vehicles" with the advent of congestion pricing, New York City officials are looking to give police more leeway to go after drivers who hide or obstruct their license plates.
