	The Price of Life in the Fast Lane
		In addition to the two California HOT lane systems, other congestion pricing systems are currently operating in Houston, Florida's Lee County, and the New York/New Jersey area.
		Komanoff is ambivalent about HOT lanes and other forms of congestion pricing because at the same time that some drivers are encouraged to stay away from congestion or higher peak-period tolls, others are drawn to use the HOT lanes because they are relatively less congested than other options.
		SANDAG opened its HOT lane in October 1996, charging a flat $50 per month for a sticker that granted drivers access to the lanes, which are separated from the rest of the highway.

		This would be followed by the MTA moving to congestion-reducing peak-period tolls on its bridges and tunnels.

	Veritas et Venustas: Take Back the Streets - New York Needs a Congestion Zone
		The city's last three mayors all announced plans to put tolls on the free bridges coming into Manhattan, with "congestion pricing" that would go up and down according to supply and demand.
		Less than 2% of the people on Manhattan island every day cause the traffic jams that bring with them congestion, polluted air, noise pollution and general aggravation.
		All we have to do to solve this problem is to stop putting the rights of a few individual automobiles over the comfort and safety of the residents, commuters and tourists who make up the other 98% of the people on the island every day.
