...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.

Just move the jobs to the suburbs so the big lib cities not only don't get the new tax, they also lose all the income and property tax from the workers and business.

This is just about stealing more money from the people. If cities wanted to get rid of congestion they could simply ban cars.

If London, Stockholm, Singapore, Milan and three cities in Norway jump off a bridge should we be inclined to follow? I shan’t.

The solution to every problem, real or imagined, is a tax.

Devil’s Advocate: If California sold me one of the SF Bay Area bridges, the first thing I would do would be to implement time-of-day pricing.
