Congestion pricing is a system where drivers are charged a fee to enter certain high-traffic areas during peak times, aiming to reduce traffic congestion and pollution. Proponents argue that it effectively reduces traffic and emissions while generating revenue for public transportation improvements. Opponents argue that it unfairly targets lower-income drivers and may simply shift congestion to other areas.
@9RC97PLNew Democratic3mos3MO
No, but promote high efficiency transit to reduce congestion
@9RDJFXL3mos3MO
What cities would you consider this?
@9VJX3222wks2W
Only if public transportation is really effective in the surrounding area
@carsonmyers 4wks4W
Yes, but cities must complement fees with easy access using alternative means of transit
@ISIDEWITH1mo1MO
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 4wks4W
no, trying to change an industry from the consumer end is akin to steering a ship by leaning
@9RZPX672mos2MO
no, cities should do better to meet growing infrastructure requirements than taxing current citizens for the growing needs.
@9RBSHWJ3mos3MO
Yes, but only if robust public transportation options are available.
@9QW7TQZ3mos3MO
Yes, and create more spaces where cars are not allowed at all.
@9P4BK5L4mos4MO
It would depend on how it is implemented, what routes are affected etc.
@9NXR2CN4mos4MO
No, instead, build better and more efficient transport infrastructure
@9RVCYVN3mos3MO
No, unless massive investments in public transit are made
Yes but only if the city has an adequate, reliable and affordable public transit system.
@9RBY87R3mos3MO
No, the citizens should not be punished for poorly designed roadways
@9RBWQPY3mos3MO
Build up and stop sprawl. Then people will walk and bike and not use vehicles to congest the roads.
@9VZT3KK3 days3D
No, but we should have better public transportation leading to those areas to encourage using it over driving.
