Goals of Congestion Pricing

The congestion goal provoked the greatest volume of public comments. There is widespread acknowledgement among the comments that the current system is greatly overloaded and requires some degree of expansion. Comments disagree, however, over what degree and type of expansion will be required. Most comments address particular deficiencies in the current road and public transit system, but some advocate a radical shift in transit priorities such as entirely banning passenger vehicles, constructing a parallel light-rail or monorail system, or building borough "superhighways." Comments acknowledge the compatibility of the congestion goal with the air quality, climate change, and energy goals.
