The document discusses several strategies to reduce traffic congestion in New York City, including: 1) Increasing the cost of parking in Manhattan through measures like eliminating resident parking tax exemptions, raising parking taxes, and increasing rates for on-street metered parking. 2) Reducing the number of public employees using parking placards by removing free on-street parking for government employees commuting to Manhattan. 3) Applying surcharges of $1-2 for taxi and ride-hailing trips within Manhattan south of 86th street. 4) Prohibiting single-occupant vehicles from entering Manhattan south of 60th street on weekdays during morning rush hour to encourage carpooling.
