The Globe and Mail, prompted by last week’s release of “Congestion Costs, Road Capacity and Implications for Policy-Makers,” the CAA-commissioned, Conference Board of Canada report, takes a deep look at tolling’s efficacy as a highway funding resource and a method of reducing traffic congestion.

The report states there is a difference between policies designed to raise revenue and those designed to change driving behaviour.”
