High Occupancy / Toll Lanes: Phasing in Congestion Pricing a Lane at a Time

Name: Work Video:
Duration: 3 min 30 s
Description: A consensus is emerging among transportation economists that the best way to deal with freeway congestion is to charge for driving during peak hours. The main barrier to implementation is political: drastic change is politically unpopular. This paper proposes a way of overcoming the political obstacles by phasing in congestion pricing over a period of many years.
