San Francisco Mobility Access and Pricing Study: Case Study of 3 Representative Trips

Story of how three different San Francisco-bound traveler's trip experiences might change if a congestion pricing program were implemented in 2015.

On December 14, the Transportation Authority Board unanimously approved the MAPS Final Report, and voted 8-3 in favor of pursuing additional study of the concept, excluding the Southern Gateway scenario.

Congestion pricing involves charging drivers a user fee to drive in specific, congested areas or corridors, and using the revenue generated to fund transportation improvements, such as better transit service, road improvements, and bicycle and pedestrian projects. Our analyses indicate that a feasible "right-sized" program can be designed for San Francisco that enhances mobility and access to the downtown while maintaining economic vitality.
