...have implemented “cordon pricing,” a form of “congestion pricing.” This promising, yet controversial, strategy uses electronic sensors (like EZ-pass) or video cameras to automatically charge cars and trucks that cross a perimeter (or “cordon”) into a heavily trafficked business district during peak hours.

Amazing.

It ALWAYS comes down to government revenue, even traffic frustration for crying out loud.

Change is in the air and it "ain't no" Obama change.

Great idea!

City's, which are in decline and becoming ghetto's, will now have limited businesses locating in them as patrons/employees/vendors/etc. will avoid going there due to the charges!
