PositiveImpact Congestion pricing is expected to reduce traffic congestion significantly, funding public transport initiatives that improve accessibility for future generations. It can create a behavioral shift towards sustainable transport, establishing habits that benefit future transport systems by promoting public transport and shared mobility options, thus reducing vehicular emissions and improving air quality.

NegativeImpact If not managed properly, congestion pricing could disproportionately affect low-income workers who rely on their vehicles for commuting. This could lead to increased inequality and resentment towards the policy. Moreover, road pricing could create a perception of road access as a privilege, potentially alienating lower-income drivers and resulting in a social divide in mobility access.
