Tolling and Pricing
Tolling and pricing refer to the methods used to charge users for access to certain roads, bridges, or services. Tolling typically involves a fee paid at a specific point, such as a toll booth, to use a roadway. Pricing can take various forms, including congestion pricing, where fees vary based on demand, encouraging off-peak travel. Both strategies aim to manage traffic, fund infrastructure maintenance, and promote efficient use of transportation resources. Ultimately, they help reduce congestion and improve overall transportation systems while generating revenue for public services.
