I used a car in #Portland today, to go about 11-12 miles and back... does anybody think it might be worth some #congestionPricing to make it so people driving could reliably average over 15mph? No? "Just jam every street full of cars until nothing works, and repeat again daily until the rapture. Go trump!" ? 🤷 with #orDems like these, #transportation is a drain on the economy.

> People always hate congestion pricing...until they see how good it is. Whatever you want to call it — "the valley of political death," "the hill of hysteria" — it's a dynamic that goes way beyond congestion pricing. Let's examine.

The Trump regime is against anything that benefits the American people (except the ultra rich, of course).

Modeled against Berlin:

"We find that congestion toll revenue in a single metropolitan area can fully compensate for regional fuel tax losses while generating substantial welfare gains. The policy reduces travel delays by 1.16 million hours and cuts CO2 emissions by over 42,000 tonnes annually. Distributional analysis reveals that progressive revenue recycling targeting middle- and low-income residents and outer boroughs is essential for public acceptability. Our findings suggest that the fuel tax revenue crisis provides both fiscal necessity and political justification for implementing this economically superior but historically difficult policy."

Not fully open access but there's enough teasing by information ransomer Elsevier to convey the gist.
