Could Congestion Pricing Unlock a Better Toronto? - School of Cities

A look at how Toronto could benefit from congestion pricing, inspired by New York City’s new vehicle charge. This piece revisits Toronto’s 2017 toll proposal, estimates potential $500M in annual revenue, and explores how such a policy could reduce traffic, improve transit, and advance climate goals. With global examples showing success, the question remains: Is Toronto ready to try again?

    Easily solved with a government-supported “low-income families” program.

    NYC has implemented congestion pricing, and its been a huge success cutting down congestion and improving transit. Not to mention the added health benefits for those living in cities, as well as making the city more walkable and enjoyable to live in.

      So which demographics have been forced to disproportionately drive less?

          What makes them drive less if the burden is money? The above poster seems to think it’s poor people.
