No

 @9ZBJW4Zfrom Illinois  disagreed…5mos5MO

Congestion pricing provides an incentive to choose alternate modes of transportation besides driving for typical commuting while simultaneously raising funds to continue to improve public transportation infrastructure. It is also better for drivers in the long term - more people choosing public transportation over driving makes the roads less congested for the drivers that remain and once the new transit infrastructure is robust enough the congestion pricing can be removed.

No, unless the situation is dire AND there is sufficient infrastructure in place to not use vehicles

 @B3DT8TDNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

Yes, and cities should be organized in a way that promotes walkable cities, bicycle lanes and public transportation

 @B38NWBTfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

No, wtf! What happens if there are accidents or road closures? Don't take away people's options who are unable to pay when they could absolutely NEED to be somewhere on time.

 @B3286XSfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

No, improve traffic by implementing better public transport system, better city planning, and allowing for more flexible work hours.

 @B2JKHRWfrom Pennsylvania  answered…3mos3MO

No, encourage employers to implement work from home policies and remote solutions in these cities instead

 @B2BMK7Bfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but only for highly congested areas, & make exceptions for fuel-efficient & low/zero emissions vehicles.

 @B29BM44from Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

The last thing we need is more taxes, we the people have already paid for these roads and the maintenance through taxes, build better transit systems, bike lanes etc

 @9ZCHMWGanswered…5mos5MO

The issue is a lack of public transportation infrastructure- congestion pricing will only increase economic pressure on citizens who are forced to drive on their communte

 @9ZC74X6from Colorado  answered…5mos5MO

Yes, introduce congestion pricing for single commuter vehicles so that vehicles that are used for delivering goods and service can do it more cost effectively and quicker.

 @9YNMQD9from Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

I support congestion pricing in principle, as it has proven effective in cities with strong transit systems. However, without similar transit reliability and accessibility in Canadian cities, implementing congestion charges may unfairly burden commuters who lack viable alternatives. Before introducing congestion pricing, Canada should prioritize substantial improvements to public transit, ensuring it’s a realistic and accessible option for everyone. With a robust transit network in place, congestion pricing could then be an effective tool to manage traffic and reduce emissions.

 @9YJ9RPLfrom Ontario  answered…5mos5MO

No, there should be more emphasis on work-from-home whenever possible to reduce congestion and reduce pollution.

 @9XBCJXQBloc Québécoisfrom Alberta  answered…5mos5MO

Cities should provide more buses for usage instead of increasing the prices for users.

 @9WVQPGKfrom British Columbia  answered…5mos5MO

 @9WSJYRYfrom Alberta  answered…6mos6MO

yes, but more and better public transportation systems need to be implemented to support the influx of people.

 @9WHRDPNfrom Quebec  answered…6mos6MO

 @9WCRHFQfrom British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

Certain industries that require commercial travel should be waived and only limit congestion tax during rush hours.

 @9W8WCJKfrom New York  answered…6mos6MO

Yes, but only with decreases in costs for public transportation and trains, and an increase in bike lanes etc. (easier access to alternative options)

 @9VZT3KKfrom British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

No, but we should have better public transportation leading to those areas to encourage using it over driving.

 @9VJX322from British Columbia  answered…6mos6MO

 @carsonmyers from Maine  answered…7mos7MO

Yes, but cities must complement fees with easy access using alternative means of transit

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Do you think it's fair to charge drivers more for using crowded streets if it could help the environment? Why or why not?

 @9TQWX6J from Ontario  answered…7mos7MO

no, trying to change an industry from the consumer end is akin to steering a ship by leaning

 @9RZPX67from Alberta  answered…8mos8MO

no, cities should do better to meet growing infrastructure requirements than taxing current citizens for the growing needs.

Yes but only if the city has an adequate, reliable and affordable public transit system.

 @9RBWQPYfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Build up and stop sprawl. Then people will walk and bike and not use vehicles to congest the roads.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

What are your thoughts on paying extra to drive in busy areas if the money was used to improve public transportation?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Imagine your daily commute cost more because of traffic charges; how might that change your travel habits?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How would you feel if driving into downtown areas cost more during rush hours to reduce traffic?

 @9ZK3JNSfrom British Columbia  answered…5mos5MO

No, provide more public transportation and incentives for people who use public transportation to reduce traffic congestion.

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Imagine a future where city centers are free from traffic thanks to congestion pricing; what positive and negative effects do you foresee?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How might businesses in charging zones be affected by congestion pricing, and do you think their concerns are valid?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

If you knew your commute charges would help fund cleaner public transport options, would that change your opinion on congestion pricing?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

Can you think of a time you were stuck in traffic and wished there were fewer cars on the road? How might congestion pricing have felt like a solution?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

How would you propose balancing the need to reduce city congestion with ensuring fair access for all income levels?

 @ISIDEWITHasked…7mos7MO

If certain roads cost money to use during peak times, what alternative transportation methods might you consider?
