After little investment in ( infrastructure, flow, job, hour, air, driving, road-users, transport, commuting ) for 25 years, California’s ( air, transport, commuting, job, hour, driving, infrastructure, road-users, flow ) system is groaning. Businesses complain about potential employees turning down ( job, infrastructure, hour, commuting, road-users, flow, air, driving, transport ) offers that would compel them to spend hours a day ( flow, job, hour, commuting, transport, infrastructure, air, driving, road-users ). Car makers worry that unless ( commuting, job, hour, flow, transport, air, infrastructure, driving, road-users ) quality improves they will be ordered to meet yet stricter design standards.
Road-pricing has long been championed by economists, keen to impose more of the external costs of driving on ( air, job, hour, flow, transport, infrastructure, driving, road-users, commuting ) by charging them a fee that reflects not just the distance travelled but also the time and route of the journey. ( transport, job, hour, flow, driving, commuting, road-users, air, infrastructure ) imposes a heavier burden when it is done at rush ( air, job, flow, commuting, transport, hour, driving, road-users, infrastructure ) so such journeys ought to cost a driver more. In theory, drivers will then adjust their departure times and smooth out the ( hour, infrastructure, flow, job, commuting, driving, air, road-users, transport ) of traffic through the day.
