This seems like a good idea to keep driving to just those who really need to. I hope it would come along with improved metro operations.

DC residents who commute into VA for work are a small and nonsignificant portion of the population. |

Congress would have to take action. I'm not sure they are functional enough to do that right now. |

The biggest recent contributor to traffic in DC is Lyft/Uber. Cities used to control traffic by limiting parking. Now Uber and Lyft have blown up that plan. Congestion pricing is one way to deal with it. |

Very in support of this. Glad NYC was finally able to break through to make it happen there (though implementation still pending).
