  • San Francisco congestion pricing is a proposed traffic congestion user fee for vehicles traveling into the most congested areas of the city of San Francisco at certain periods of peak demand. The charge would be combined with other traffic reduction projects. The proposed congestion pricing charge is part of a mobility and pricing study being carried out by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority to reduce congestion at and near central locations and to reduce its associated environmental impacts, including cutting greenhouse emissions. The funds raised through the charge will be used for public transit improvement projects, and for pedestrian and bike infrastructure and enhancements. This initiative is supported by the U.S. Department of Transportation. To go into effect it will need approval at the local and state legislative levels. As the New York congestion pricing scheme got stalled in 2008, if approved, San Francisco would be the first city in the United States to implement a congestion charge, similar to those existing in Singapore, London, Stockholm, and Milan. The various scenarios considered were presented in public meetings held in December 2008, with final study results expected for late 2009.
