> congestion pricing

Is that a surcharge for being on certain roads at certain times of the day? It's a good idea if it could be undertaken in a somewhat fair way, are there any well thought out theories that you know of?

London has been doing it since 2003.

I don't have any particular recommended reading, but you can google the term and read articles about it.
Atlanta has "hot lanes" where the prices increase and decrease with the flow of traffic.
