2024年3月1日 · In total, 16 congestion pricing systems across 11 cities in OECD member countries are assessed. Findings suggest that area-based congestion pricing systems can provide local governments with a relatively cost-effective tool to implement consistent reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in areas with a pre-existing air quality concern.

effectiveness of congestion pricing, including traffic effects and environmental effects, is one area being frequently discussed. Based on the result of these studies, congestion pricing not only largely reduces congestion but also benefits the environment through emission reduction. What's more, contributions to environmental protection are

In this paper, we argue that the New York City congestion pricing plan whose implementation was paused in the summer of 2024 had a major shortcoming: as designed, it would have had a much more severe impact on the drivers of personal vehicles than on the passengers of taxis and ride-hailing vehicles, as well as on the clients of delivery services.

On June 30, 2024, the City of New York was scheduled to launch its congestion pricing system, fol-lowing a series of earlier failed initiatives, decades of political and legal debates, and hundreds of millions of dollars of investment in supporting infrastructure.

2024年11月18日 · The term congestion pricing refers to a dynamic pricing strategy designed to regulate demand by increasing prices without increasing supply. The strategy is based on the economic theory of...

The difference in approach between congestion pricing and a gasoline tax or an import duty is an important one, however, as the consumer has the ability to mitigate their costs by spreading out or taking alternative modes of transportation to minimize their marginal cost.

Congestion pricing policies (CPPs) are a common strategy for addressing urban traffic congestion. Research has explored several impacts of these policies (e.g., air quality, equity, congestion relief). The purpose of this review was to synthesize findings from publications examining CPP impacts on road user safety outcomes.

2024年2月1日 · To explore the impact of congestion pricing on travel behaviors and the urban environment, this paper investigates vehicular carbon emissions and travelers' car dependency under three different schemes of congestion pricing (CP), namely, charging by travel distance (CP1), charging by travel time (CP2), and charging by distance+time (CP3).

2024年8月1日 · In this paper, we examine the impacts of several congestion pricing schemes on both passenger transport and freight in an integrated manner using a large-scale microsimulator (SimMobility) that explicitly simulates the behavioral decisions of the entire population of individuals and business establishments, dynamic multimodal network performance...

Congestion pricing is a transportation policy that reduces traffic congestion in urban areas by charging fees for using certain roads or areas during peak times. The goal is to discourage driving in congested periods and promote public transportation, carpooling, or alternate routes.
