Stockholm (congestion pricing)

Stockholm's congestion pricing is a system where drivers pay a fee to enter central parts of the city during peak hours. The goal is to reduce traffic congestion, lower pollution, and encourage the use of public transportation. The fees vary depending on the time of day and can be temporarily suspended during holidays or off-peak times. Revenue collected is reinvested into transportation infrastructure and improvements. This approach has successfully decreased traffic volume, improved air quality, and shortened commute times, serving as a model for urban congestion management.
