Is there a fair way to do congestion pricing?

Among transportation experts, congestion pricing is the gold standard policy for managing traffic on freeways and highways. By charging drivers to use the road — and more during the busiest times — the intention is to nudge them toward alternative forms of transportation, thereby unclogging traffic. But charging people to use busy roads raises questions about fairness, especially for low-income drivers. UCLA researchers outlined ways that California could implement congestion pricing while minimizing the financial burden on those residents.
