The fee mentioned in the graphs above are suggestive and are based on user surveys conducted by the team. After the congestion pricing system goes live, the fee would have to be revised based on the impact of the existing fee on traffic volumes and speeds. The goal of congestion pricing is to maintain an acceptable level of service (i.e. LOS C). If it remains worse than C (i.e LOS D and above), then the price must be increased. If it goes to LOS B, then the price must be dropped.
