PositiveImpact The Dynamic Toll Pricing Model could contribute significantly to reducing traffic congestion, which is expected to lead to lower emissions from idling vehicles and a subsequent improvement in air quality across Switzerland. Over time, as congestion lowers, individuals may adopt more sustainable commuting habits, setting a precedent for future transport policies and creating a culture of environmentally responsible travel.

NegativeImpact While the model could initially decrease congestion, it risks disproportionately affecting lower-income workers who may not be able to afford variable tolls, thus exacerbating socio-economic inequalities. Additionally, if not implemented effectively, there could be scenarios where drivers avoid paying tolls by seeking alternate routes, perhaps leading to increased pollution in less congested areas.
