Summary of Bill HR 351
Bill 119 HR 351, also known as the "Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act Amendment Act," aims to make changes to the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991. The main focus of this bill is to prohibit congestion or cordon pricing in a value pricing program.
Congestion pricing is a strategy used by some cities to reduce traffic congestion by charging drivers a fee to enter certain areas during peak hours. Cordon pricing is a similar concept, where drivers are charged a fee to enter a specific zone within a city.
This bill seeks to prevent these types of pricing strategies from being implemented as part of a value pricing program. Value pricing programs are designed to manage traffic flow and reduce congestion by adjusting tolls based on demand. In addition to prohibiting congestion or cordon pricing, the bill also includes provisions for other purposes related to transportation efficiency. Overall, Bill 119 HR 351 aims to address concerns about congestion pricing and cordon pricing within value pricing programs, while also seeking to improve transportation efficiency in the United States.
