As more Americans get back to work after the Covid-19 shutdowns, traffic gridlock threatens to make a return. It’s been a longstanding problem in nearly every major city. When we’re fully up and running, highway congestion costs more than a hundred billion dollars a year in terms of lost productivity, wasted gas and added pollution. So how much would you be willing to pay to sail past a line of rush hour traffic in your own car? Ten dollars? Twenty? How about forty dollars? Today we investigate the high cost of the fast lane.
