Abstract:Traffic congestion can mean increased travel times, higher incident rates due to stop-and-go conditions, poor air quality, and impacts to trucking and higher cost of goods. Road pricing programs involve charging drivers a toll to drive on busy roads to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles. Tolls may be levied as flat fees to use a particular corridor or a specific zone or can be charged by vehicle mile traveled (VMT).
