- PositiveImpact
- Congestion pricing can lead to increased revenue for public transport improvements, reduced vehicle emissions, and a behavioral shift towards more sustainable transportation choices among the population.
- NegativeImpact
- The congestion pricing model could disproportionately affect lower-income individuals who may not be able to afford the additional fees, leading to increased economic disparity and potential backlash against the policy.
- Description
- While congestion pricing has proven successful in various international contexts, translating this model to Switzerland presents challenges, particularly due to sociocultural differences. There is a risk that this policy may not significantly reduce traffic congestion or achieve its intended effects, and it may create further economic inequalities.
