PositiveImpact The implementation of the Dynamic Toll Pricing Model could lead to substantial reductions in emissions, as congestion decreases and driving behavior shifts. This could result in cleaner air quality, contributing to public health benefits and enhancing overall quality of life for future generations in Switzerland. Behavioral changes encouraged by the pricing model may also foster a cultural shift towards sustainable transportation, further promoting long-term reductions in emissions.

NegativeImpact Although the Dynamic Toll Pricing Model aims to reduce congestion, it risks creating social inequities as lower-income households might struggle with variable toll costs, thus forcing them to seek alternative routes that may not be as environmentally friendly. This could inadvertently lead to increased emissions in certain areas and counteract the overall benefits of reduced congestion. Furthermore, there is a danger that the model could lead to heightened frustration and dissatisfaction among users if not well implemented, leading to a backlash against the pricing system.
