Ban on Congestion and Cordon Pricing in Federal Transportation Programs.

This bill prohibits the use of federal funds for transportation programs that implement congestion pricing or cordon pricing. If passed, the federal government would be barred from establishing or maintaining programs that charge drivers extra fees for entering specific zones (like city centers) or driving during peak traffic hours. This protects citizens from new federally supported tolls aimed at reducing traffic congestion.
Key points
