PositiveImpact Congestion pricing would lead to reduced traffic volumes during peak hours, resulting in lower air pollution levels and better air quality for urban populations. By decreasing roadway congestion, it also eases strain on public health caused by emissions, potentially leading to a healthier future population. Additionally, the funds generated could be used to enhance public transport systems, promoting sustainable transportation methods, which would benefit future generations.

NegativeImpact The implementation of congestion pricing may disproportionately affect lower-income workers who may rely on their vehicles for commuting and cannot afford the fees. This could lead to increased economic disparity and make mobility less accessible for essential service workers. Furthermore, without adequate public transport alternatives in place, some drivers may feel cornered into paying the tolls or facing extended travel times, leading to frustration and potential backlash against such policies.
