Some of you may know this answer, but here goes given my observations and the wonderful commentary from the Citywide bus tour I’m enjoying with yes… no congestion.
- Congestion pricing.. the more you drive the more you pay. (The bus tour company pays $20k US each year in ERP tolls)
- Control the number of registered vehicles and limit the # of years the permit is valid for one vehicle to 10 years (Signapore is a top exporter of used vehicles).
- Keep the cost for personal vehicle ownership high with a 100% import tax.
- Significant governmental investment in multimodal options.
Rhetorical question… I’m curious how many of my fellow Americans would support these types of policies to avoid being stuck in traffic?
