Is congestion pricing the fairest way to reduce city gridlock?
Congestion pricing is the only fair way to reduce gridlock in major cities. I drive into Manhattan twice a week and pay $15 each time, yet the streets are still clogged with single-occupancy vehicles. Critics argue it hurts low-income commuters, but the revenue funds better public transit, which is exactly who benefits most. Without a financial deterrent, people will never change their driving habits, and we'll keep wasting hours in traffic.
