PositiveImpact Implementing congestion pricing can lead to reduced traffic congestion, allowing for more efficient and reliable access to educational institutions. This can improve attendance rates and overall academic performance for students, particularly for those from working-class backgrounds who rely on the A1 motorway for their daily commute to schools and universities. Over time, as public transport funding increases, the accessibility of education for marginalized communities is likely to improve, fostering a more equitable society with broader educational outcomes.

NegativeImpact While congestion pricing may reduce traffic, it could disproportionately affect lower-income families who may struggle to pay additional fees, thereby exacerbating inequality in access to education. Families facing higher commuting costs might be forced to relocate, impacting their children's educational stability. Furthermore, if the funds generated are not adequately invested in enhancing public transport and educational access, the initiative could fall short in achieving its intended benefits, creating a scenario where access to education remains hindered for many.
