title: The implications of implementing congestion pricing in Chicago
ispublished: pub
full_text_status: public
abstract: The Chicago Metropolitan Agency for Planning (CMAP) is researching the possibility of implementing congestion pricing in Chicago. The reason for this is that in the current situation drivers are not paying the full cost of their use. In the empirical findings hypotheses have been stated to research the implications of congestion pricing in Chicago. These hypotheses have been tested by conducting interviews with experts on the topic. Also, a quantitative data analysis has been executed in order to see which highways are the most congested in Chicago and where there is the most demand for congestion pricing. In the results it is shown that most congestion occurs on the Kennedy Expressway and the most demand for congestion is in the neighborhoods along the Edens Expressway. Despite these facts the congestion pricing project on the Stevenson Expressway has a good chance to succeed because of visible benefits and low costs.
