Congestion Charges For Boston

Written by Boston Biker on Dec 17

We should have a rush hour congestion charge for Boston, 2 or 3 dollars for automobiles, 1 or 2 dollars if you are carpooling. The money should fund the MBTA, and cycling/ped infrastructure. It worked for Stockholm, it will work for us.

Boston doesn’t need to re-invent the wheel, we just need to find places in the world with awesome plans and copy them.

These things work, all we have to do is be brave enough to try them here.
