- Description
- While congestion pricing has demonstrated promise in other cities, its implementation, especially in the form proposed, poses potential risks. It may fail if not accompanied by robust public transportation options or if adequate outreach and incentives to encourage carpooling or alternative routes are not provided. Moreover, setting the pricing too high could alienate essential commuters, leading to public backlash. Compared to alternatives such as Smart Traffic Management Systems and Integrated Public Transport Enhancements, which may offer more comprehensive, equitable solutions while promoting wider governmental and societal benefits, congestion pricing alone could falter without a supportive infrastructure. Thus, in the current context, the alternative is rated poorly as it contributes little to creating enduring positive assets for future generations while presenting risks to social equity.
