NYC income from congestion pricing

Absent any research, I am computing the annual income from Manhattan congestion pricing to be around $200 to $300 million/year. Basically I am assuming the use of the dashboard device and a mix of traffic based on the typical commuter. If the most important commuters can save $100 per day, they split with the city. Then adding in bus convoys, freight, and blocks of company commuters, congestion purchases approach those numbers.

The technology is paid for within months, management fees remain.
