Getting there: How road pricing can advance equity, mobility, and sustainability

 

The third installment in our webinar series, Getting There, explores how road pricing (also known as congestion pricing) can help manage demand for driving in cities.

 

Dr. Jonathan Hall, an applied microeconomist, has researched road pricing extensively, and Kate Slevin led RPA's advocacy for New York City's congestion pricing program, which was authorized in April 2019 by the NYS legislature.

 

With GGWash moderating, these speakers will discuss road pricing as a set of tools that can shift demand toward transit, walking, and biking, and improve the performance of these modes, with implications for mobility, equity, health, the economy, and the environment. This webinar will be recorded and there will be time for Q&A following the discussion.

 

Speakers:

Dr. Jonathan Hall, Assistant Professor, Department of Economics and Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy, University of Toronto

Kate Slevin, Executive Vice President, Regional Plan Association

 

Date and time: 1:00pm-2:00pm on Tuesday, December 7

Cost: Free!

This webinar is the second in a three-part series on transportation patterns in the Washington region and the potential role of road pricing (also known as congestion pricing). The series explores the question: what do we need to do to meet people's mobility needs while planning for a growing, greener region?
