Signs are emerging of a bustling New York City once again after a snowy February slowed traffic and created an obstacle for a comeback in fuel demand.
Traffic on city routes this month is on track to mark the fastest pace since November 2019, according to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority, in the wake of warmer weather and lighter lockdown restrictions. Receipts fell nearly 4% in February from January levels after a blizzard kept people indoors. The survey covers nine bridges, tunnels and highways linking the five boroughs.
