摘要：	Congestion pricing is being praised by transportation officials as a highly effective means of reducing gridlock. Congestion pricing--charging a premium to road users who want to drive during peak periods--is a powerful tool to persuade people to carpool, use transit, telecommute, vary the time they travel, alter their routes, choose other destinations, or avoid or combine some trips. This article highlights the first commercial test of congestion pricing. State Route 91 (SR 91) in Orange County, California, has four new express lanes in the median that may well save commuters from 20 to 40 minutes a trip. During rush hour, solo drivers pay $2.50; at non-peak periods, the toll is as low as $.25. Toll-free rides are available to 3-person carpools during rush hours and fines are levied against persons entering the express lanes without the FasTrak transponders, which automatically deducts the toll from the account of the express lane user. SR 91 is already considered a model in the area of congestion pricing.
