Car Tolls to Battle Emissions

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors is full of copycats, but for good reason. Taking a page from London and Singapore, the board hopes to charge drivers in downtown areas to encourage public transportation. Charging drivers a toll in high-traffic areas and at major bridges before entering the city are two possible solutions proposed to ease congestion and decrease car emissions. The supervisors will review the city plans in a meeting scheduled for December 20.
