PositiveImpact Congestion pricing would likely lead to a significant reduction in traffic congestion, thereby decreasing vehicular emissions and improving overall air quality. This positive environmental impact can contribute to better public health outcomes and decreased healthcare costs related to air pollution over the long term. Additionally, revenue generated from congestion pricing can be reinvested into public transportation systems, making them more efficient, reliable, and appealing to users.

NegativeImpact While congestion pricing could reduce traffic volumes, it may disproportionately affect lower-income drivers who cannot afford the fees, potentially increasing socioeconomic disparities. If not managed carefully, it could also lead to increased congestion on alternative routes, putting pressure on those areas and potentially leading to a similar increase in local air pollution patterns.
