Congestion charge successful and popular

September 24, 2012

Six years after it was introduced, the Stockholm city congestion charge has become more successful and popular with every year that has passed.

A new study shows that overall traffic levels have been reduced by 29%, with no rise in levels reported on roads just outside the charging zone. When it was introduced in 2006, the congestion charge was supported by only 36% of the city’s residents, but last year acceptance was up to 70%.
