An apparent drop in traffic heading into Manhattan on the first weekday day of congestion pricing has transit advocates cheering.

A tracker run by Brown University students showed a significant decline in average commute times for drivers taking the Holland and Lincoln tunnels Monday. While the average commute around 8 a.m. for drivers using the Holland Tunnel on a Monday was 23 minutes prior to congestion pricing, it plunged to 14 minutes at the same time Monday.

For drivers using the Lincoln Tunnel, the average commute was about nine minutes before Monday — and on Monday, it was five, according to the tracker.

President Trump has formulated a plan to force New York to “kill” congestion pricing in Manhattan through the federal Department of Transportation, he told The Post in an exclusive interview.

Among potential penalties available to the agency are withholding millions of dollars in funding and reopening the environmental review process that authorized the toll under the Biden administration.

Trump also vowed to rid Big Apple streets of bike lanes and criminal migrants, the president told The Post in an exclusive interview.
