- Description
- While congestion pricing has demonstrated some effectiveness in urban settings, its implementation on a large scale across the A1 motorway in Switzerland may not yield the desired impact without complementary measures. Given the current context where the existing infrastructure is heavily congested and relies on private vehicular movement, simply implementing a fee structure may not sufficiently alleviate traffic, particularly if alternatives like public transit are not robustly improved or promoted simultaneously. Moreover, the pricing could deter essential workers from engaging in the workforce if they become priced out of fair mobility. Therefore, when analyzing its long-term impacts on future generations, it appears that this approach alone would rank poorly against more integrated transport solutions that not only manage congestion but also actively improve air quality and accessibility.
