• Abstract:
  The purpose of this project is to measure the magnitude of the pollution reduction co-benefit generated by pricing congestion. In California, despite incentives for the adoption of cleaner vehicles and increased penetration of electric vehicles in the fleet, GHG emissions from transportation continue to increase. And when it comes to local air pollution, while tough regulations have certainly brought dramatic reductions in air pollution and improved health, Southern California remains the nation’s smoggiest region, and continues to fail to meet federal Ozone standards.
