San Francisco congestion pricing

Traffic leaving and entering San Francisco over the Golden Gate Bridge.

San Francisco congestion pricing is a proposed traffic congestion user fee for vehicles traveling into the most congested areas of the city of San Francisco at certain periods of peak demand. The charge would be combined with other traffic reduction projects. The proposed congestion pricing charge is part of a mobility and pricing study being carried out by the San Francisco County Transportation Authority (SFCTA) to reduce congestion at and near central locations and to reduce its associated environmental impacts, including cutting greenhouse gas emissions.[1] The funds raised through the charge will be used for public transit improvement projects, and for pedestrian and bike infrastructure and enhancements.[1][2] It was considered in Washington, D.C. and San Francisco, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic,[3] and prior to the exodus of businesses from the downtown core of San Francisco.[4][5][6]

This initiative was supported by the U.S. Department of Transportation.[1] The initial charging scenarios considered were presented in public meetings held in December 2008[7] and the final draft proposal, which called for implementation of a six-month to one-year trial in 2015, was discussed by the San Francisco Board of Supervisors (SFBS) in December 2010.[8][9] The SFBS decided to exclude the Southern Gateway scenario and authorized SFCTA to seek federal financing to continue further planning for the two Northeast Cordon options.[10][11] Another plan was drafted in 2019 before the COVID-19 pandemic and the exodus of businesses from the downtown core put the congestion pricing proposal on indefinite hold.[12][13]

If implemented, it may be the second city-based congestion charge scheme in the United States, after congestion pricing in New York City was introduced in 2025.[3] It would be similar to existing schemes that was first introduced in Singapore's Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system, and the subsequent cities such as London congestion charge, Stockholm congestion tax, and the Milan Area C that were inspired by it.[1] Under a separate initiative congestion pricing tolls were implemented at the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge in July 2010 before that was also suspended indefinitely in 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic.
