This is a huge mistake for the US to make. Infrastructure is fundamental; decisions should be made on a practical, not ideological basis. Your children and grandchildren, especially the majority of them who will live in cities, will pay dearly for this.

Toronto creates "traffic czar" and approves other measures targeting endemic traffic congestion.

There is no objective case against (de)congestion pricing in NYC. There is a political case - wealthy people drive in Manhattan more than the rest of the population does. Know what bothers this administration the most? This program is working.

Watch it happen - the unraveling of 75 years of work developing and improving transit facilities and services in our cities. cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/new…
The problem with projects like this is they increase traffic capacity and volume from distant suburbs and exurbs to core cities beyond the capacity of those cities to accommodate. So they increase traffic and increase congestion while subsidizing sprawl.

Measures to "reduce congestion" lead to increased traffic, resulting in higher, more widespread congestion. The "alternative routes" concept is flawed because it tends to result in higher VMT per trip, thereby increasing fuel consumption and emissions.
