The Road Ahead: The Economic and Environmental Benefits of Congestion Pricing
Submitted by Erin Schiller on 2.1.1998
In California, traffic congestion worsens every year. The economic and environmental costs that accompany this congestion pose a serious threat to the quality of life for all citizens. Mass transit, road expansion, and other traditional congestion relief programs are expensive, environmentally questionable, and ineffective in alleviating the problem, leaving transportation officials, legislators, and individual drivers to seek innovative solutions.
