Boston has released a five-year climate action plan aiming for 50% carbon neutrality by 2030. A key component of the strategy is the study of congestion pricing, which would charge drivers a fee to enter the city to reduce traffic and lower greenhouse gas emissions. The plan highlights that private vehicle volume makes bus service unreliable and increases pollution. Along with congestion fees, the city is exploring updated parking permit costs and new tolling structures to encourage sustainable travel choices.
