Congestion pricing can encourage some peak-period road users to shift to off-peak periods, to high occupancy vehicle modes, to less congested destinations, and/or to forego certain trips. Such changes in travel behavior can bring about significant improvements in regional mobility. The potential benefits through reduced delays to road and transit users, from enhanced transit productivity and reliability, via reduced emissions and energy consumption, and from more productive organization of economic activities can be expected to outweigh the costs of implementing such charges at high congested facilities. Further, congestion pricing of roads promises to generate large revenues for the localities. Again, the promise of improvements in the productivity of transit and other HOV modes, and the promise of new local revenues is of great relevance to our goals.
