PositiveImpact Implementing congestion pricing will likely lead to reduced traffic congestion on the A1 motorway, promoting a shift toward public transport and shared mobility options. This can foster a culture of sustainable commuting, decrease emissions, and improve overall air quality which benefits public health. In the long run, this can contribute to the preservation of natural landscapes and urban livability for future generations in Switzerland.

NegativeImpact However, congestion pricing might disproportionately affect lower-income workers who rely on their vehicles, leading to inequities in mobility access. If poorly implemented, it could create issues of traffic diversion to local roads, potentially increasing congestion in nearby neighborhoods. Additionally, funding from congestion pricing might depend on public acceptance and consistent usage, which can be unpredictable, especially if the alternatives aren’t appealing enough.
