About this episode
The episode discusses Boston Mayor Wu's proposal for congestion pricing as part of the city's climate action plan.
Boston Mayor Wu floats the idea of congestion pricing to cut down on driving in Boston, a move that's part of the Wu Administration's climate action plan. In the city's five-year climate action plans released this week, it states, "The city will study financial mechanisms to discourage vehicle trips into Boston, including updates to parking freeze permit fees, parking pricing structures, tolls and congestion-related fees. By examining these tools, the city can identify the most effective strategies for reducing congestion and encouraging more sustainable travel choices.” Would you be in favor or opposed to Boston adopting congestion pricing?
