This is literally the point of congestion pricing.
If you really need to drive around in lower Manhattan once in a while (e.g. you are doing a big run to Home Depot), you pay the $5 fee. Unless you are truly destitute, it's not that bad to pay a couple times a year.
The price system isn't perfect, but it's pretty damn efficient at controlling quantity demanded.
