> By charging a fee to drivers who can afford it and providing discounts and exemptions for those who can't, we can get traffic moving and improve transit, bike and pedestrian options.
Why should only those who "can afford it" (in whose opinion?) pay?
Are you running a congestion management program or racket on the very people who paid for the roads (middle class and above)?
> And by prioritizing travel, safety, and clean air improvements for the people who need them the most, we can advance equity in our transportation system.
If you charge low income people less or nothing, you subsidize pollution and don't "prioritize clean air improvements".
Just looking at the list of busybodies who took part in devising that nonsense plan makes me sick. You don't even have to see the details to know it's going to be another gem.
