One of the most innovative and effective solutions for
alleviating traffic is the option to pay for gridlock-free
roadways within a designated area, at certain times of the day
when congestion is at its worst. In some of the most congested
cities in the world, including London, Stockholm, and Milan,
adding a decongestion fee system during peak hours has
dramatically increased mobility, as well as improved public
health and reduced traffic collisions. Fees collected are
reinvested in transit options and safer streets.

implemented around the world:
