PositiveImpact Congestion pricing could significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions over the next decade as fewer vehicles on the road lead to lower CO2 outputs. This decline will benefit public health and align with Switzerland's commitments to international climate agreements, resulting in cleaner air and potentially leading to long-term policy shifts towards sustainable transportation.

NegativeImpact While congestion pricing can reduce traffic volumes, it may disproportionately affect lower-income workers who rely on their vehicles for commuting. This could lead to increased economic disparity and social unrest, as the financial burden of congestion charges could drive some workers to seek employment further from their homes, spurring increased emissions through longer commutes.
