Congestion Pricing
Congestion pricing is a traffic demand management policy that helps to maintain our downtowns as vibrant and accessible for everyone. It can also provide financial backing for measures that mitigate the impact of vehicular trips.
In these policies, the fee is determined based on factors like the number of occupants, vehicle type, size and pollution level, as well as the time of day.
By indirectly encouraging drivers to shift their trips to off-peak periods, it effectively reduces congestion and its negative impacts during peak hours.
The success of congestion pricing hinges on providing alternative modes of transportation.
With our expertise in transportation modeling and economic analysis, we are equipped to support congestion pricing implementation.
We ensure public opinion is central to our process, and this is achieved through community engagement meetings.
