Honestly that's the idea - people driving themselves to work in NYC when it isn't absolutely necessary (eg contractors, delivery people) is a horrible idea and a gigantic handout to the drivers in the form of grossly incorrect pricing on the use of roadways / they should be paying out the ass for doing so.

We have far too much space in the form of parking and car traffic lanes dedicated to low value economic activity. It's getting better, but it's a slow process.
