BRIDGE CONGESTION PRICING STILL ON HOLD
In an effort to address San Francisco-Oakland traffic congestion, the Bay Area Congestion Pricing Task Force examined the viability of variable tolls on the Bay Bridge. Tolls would be higher during peak commute hours when demand is highest, and lower when the bridge has excess capacity. This is known as congestion pricing. Interest in congestion pricing escalated because ISTEA authorized up to five congestion-pricing pilot projects to monitor the application and impact of pricing strategies on facilities. The Bay Area's proposal for the Bay Bridge was the first ISTEA project selected.
